“I was the rube in the game”
Pretty soon or maybe now anyone who ever pays their own way will be a tube. Savershave long been victimized. Look at people who bought insurance, especially on their own, and laud in for decades. Suckers! Think of people who don’t take money when unemployed. Losers. Think of those who paid their mortgages or credit card bills or student loans. Idiots.
Serious query, with no hidden sarcasm et cetera: What would we do, how would we proceed, where would we start? Your hypothesis sounds daunting to me, but then it's far afield from my knowledge and experience. Also, it would seem that some entrepreneurs (and they still exist) would already be proceeding to do just what you suggest. Don't mistake my query for opposition or criticism. Your idea is intriguing but daunting.
By the way, after reading this thread, I see a mix of idealism and pragmatism crossing figurative swords here and there. Am sympathetic to both isms, being alternately afflicted with both, sometimes at the same time. Being afflicted by both isms sometimes seems worse than tending towards just one. :-(
A large chunk of change for Medicare is being shifted to the states as well.
