What we need, is a healthcare system which actually provides service to people at a reasonable cost.
THAT is why we are having this discussion.
Because our healthcare is far too expensive.
I work for a company owned by Japanese. There are employees here in the US from the head office in Japan. They routinely fly back to Japan for any sort of surgery because it’s cheaper with better care, even including the cost of the round trip airfare.

My point was about lowering healthcare costs for most people. However, you are living in la la land if you think that you can have a pre exsiting condition and you are going to pay the same price that a healthy 20 year old pays.
That is the whole reason that Obama care insurance is so high and failed, because it forced young healthy people to pay for the old and sick.
They will need to have their own high risk pool, and they will have to pay more. There is no other way around it, unless you want government to pay for people that didn’t bother to get insurance until they got sick.
