“GET THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT THE HELL OUT OF THE HEALTHCARE BUSINESS !!!”
We’ve got a good healthcare system. We just have too many middle men sucking on healthcare dollars, and making decisions for and adding enormous costs and there is no transparency for customers (not patients).
Here’s how you fix it. No more insurance companies. You require everyone to pay for their own healthcare. Pay on installment plan. When the drug cos, hospitals, doctors and all others have no patients then they’ll lower their prices and start prices like any other business for various procedures and competing with each other based on price and outcomes.
These procedures that they now charge an uninsured patient $100k will come done to $10K. The insurance companies and many other of the players are making too much because they’ve rigged the system and contribute nothing. Once prices are realistic & transparent then insurance business could be reinstated with their procedure costs being no more or no less than for cash patients.
So what if I want to buy insurance?
