When you run the numbers volume gets discounted pricing and the single person can't keep up. <br /><br />We should take the profit out and return to non profit as insurance was originally designed to spread the cost out over the largest group possible.Medical Quackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12443589277651479846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3741684961227307530.post-40036766901677229862009-12-02T09:47:08.560-08:002009-12-02T09:47:08.560-08:00If we're going to have to have single-payer in...If we're going to have to have single-payer insurance, then we need this kind of input to keep it from being too disastrous. But I'm not giving up in my fight to stop it. Dr. Winn may have the best single-payer health care plan, but the odds are against him that it would be implemented exactly in this way. Even if it was, all it takes is the next batch of politicians who don't have Dr. Winn's understanding to mess it all up for everybody. That's what's wrong with centralizing anything. If insurance companies are so lousy, then we have to ask ourselves, why are people purchasing it? Well they're not in most cases. Their employers are. It's not so much that the insurance companies are the middle man. Employers have become the middle man to acquiring insurance. Employers just provide insurance required by the government, not giving much thought as to the quality and whether insurance companies follow through. Employees accept passing on the responsibility to employers instead of taking it upon themselves to be sure they are going to get what they pay for. Again, it's regulation, not the free market that's keeping consumers from making the right decisions. It's so much simpler, efficient and effective to remove regulation to solve our problems. Not to add more.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12601147264148185333noreply@blogger.com
