Go to the doctor. The bill will be $5000 tell them your paying cash and the bill drops to $800. What's up with that?

I think his point is that - Medical consumers have absolutely no idea what the true price of their care is.
I think the only solution is 401k like savings programs for ppl who aren’t eligible for Medicaid, with way higher tax exempt limits with options for hospitalization plans or high deductible plans only. Hospital chains (which now basically run the ongoing care of most people) mess with the bill so damn much that it is impossible to tell what your “insurance” is paying for.
I do think that Reciprocal Risk Retention models would work well for ongoing care - bc it would be regulated by states, not the federal government, but the risk pool could be spread around any state that the RRG would do business.
The bureaucracy created by Obama and his infinite central planning wisdom - is what makes it so damn expensive.
This shite is unsustainable. I don’t blame doctors for it. I want my doctor to make a million bucks a yr if he can prevent me from dying. They should make a ALOT of money bc you want the best of the best to be doctors, and there’s no other way to do it.
I have ZERO Fs to give about some mega hospital chain’s profit margin.

Back to the open market. Before O'Vomit-care I owned several small businesses. In one I had a 26 year old single mother w two kids. She was a good employee and I wanted to keep her so called Blue Cross and set up an appointment for her. She got an individual policy, in Arkansas her kids were covered by ARkids First, for $32 a month with $1000 deductible. I paid half, so she had health insurance for $16 a month. The ACA killed that and she hasn't had health insurance since then.

But that was one of my points in an earlier response on page 2.
quote:quote:Pare back subsidies. Allow insurance to add better priced alternatives. Require healthcare billing transparency. Incentivize a break from Medicare-plus based billing for non-medicare private system services. A no-fault care-focused tort system would do wonders to increase quality transparency and decrease costs as well.
