you’ve been making some pretty silly comments this morning
Health care went nuts due to 3 things
1) The government made it a ‘benefit’ your employer could give you in pre-tax dollars. (why? you don’t buy your car insurance or homeowners insurance through your boss...)
2) Group insurance was structure with CO-PAY (you pay the same $50 no matter where you go- your local pharmacy could charge $300 and the one 10 miles away could charge $200 and you would not care)
3) The government made it a law that no one could be turned away from a hospital or emergency room. So you had welfare cases calling an ambulance to go to the hospital so they could get a ride to go see their friend who lived near the hospital. You had Mexicans flooding across the border for free baby delivery service.. etc etc etc
ALL CAUSED BY GOVERNMENT INTERVENTION

YOU ARE ENTITLED TO YOUR OPINION
“Health care went nuts due to 3 things
1) The government made it a ‘benefit’ your employer could give you in pre-tax dollars. (why? you don’t buy your car insurance or homeowners insurance through your boss...)”
EMPLOYERS OFFERED THIS PREVIOUSLY
“2) Group insurance was structure with CO-PAY (you pay the same $50 no matter where you go- your local pharmacy could charge $300 and the one 10 miles away could charge $200 and you would not care)”
THIS WASN’T THE GOVERNMENT
“3) The government made it a law that no one could be turned away from a hospital or emergency room.

YES, I KNOW THE WELFARE CLASS GOES TO THE HOSPITAL FOR A HANGNAIL, I HAVE CHALLENGED CLIENTS ON THIS
I still think the ins cos and the physicians were in cahoots to stabilize and increase prices.
