BUT: Outlawing private insurance, WOULD reduce the demand for medical services, and push costs way down. If everyone had to pay ALL their medical costs themselves, they WOULD shop around, just like they do now for auto repairs, and they would not approve spending on frivolous tests, any more than they would for silly accessories for their own car. Inside 2 years, hospital, MRI and other tests, and physician prices wold be in the BASEMENT.

I have not read the current bill, but I'd bet my eyes that there is a provision making the acceptance of cash from a patient by a physician a felony or at least involves punishment and reduced income.

Keep in mind, we are now dealing with marxists and their foolish pack-O-rats.....
