I dropped health insurance more than four years ago and have never looked back.
Once you understand how the incentives of corporate hospital systems and health insurance providers are misaligned with end consumers you realize that opting out is the only option.
So does that mean you or your family don't go to the doctor? Or you just pay "cash" for it?
insurance = ponzi schemes.
Should be illegal.
Is it available world wide?
Both parties know that the system is broken and totally unaffordable, but instead of trying to fix it, they just argue about how much to subsidize it.
Eliminating every health law since (and including) Obamacare would be an easy place to start.
Of course there are many other laws that need to be eliminated and it would help if our health agencies stopped encouraging dangerous drugs and stopped attacking cheap, natural treatments that work.
I know I'm dreaming.
I feel like you should have went into more detail on the government side of how healthcare became broken instead of mostly focusing on the corporation side. Should've talked about how Obamacare and other healthcare legislation passed made health insurance more expensive through things like medical loss ratios, community rating, as well as the other things contributing to high costs like the licensing and intellectual property monopolies.
Here's a good read from the Mises Institute if anyone is interested. https://mises.org/mises-daily/myth-free-market-healthcare
The system is not broken. The system is working AS DESIGNED. And that's worse. Broken implies that it will eventually be fixed. Bad news there... It's already fixed. Just not for us.
