The reality is that we don’t have a choice between taxes and better health care. There is no reason why health care needs to cost so much. We should be able to get far better health care for far less. Its just our system does not allow people to choose. If people had the ability to choose vendors. And let those vendors charge an insurance plan with prices that were up front. People would do the right thing. Right now prices are hidden. And people rarely have a choice. even among insurance providers.
There is,precisely one reason healthcare costs so much. The insurance companies. They deny care, deny my rx if it is a single day early, raise my taxable premioums every year.
Ever seen an insurer resus anyone? No.
Get insurers out of health care.
