I've listened and read about as much as I can with regards to health insurance. It's a multifaceted issue that I think we all look at wrong.
We want a solution. It's not a problem that is gonna have a "this fixes it" solution. It's more "this is economically the best option for the biggest faction of people". |

No actual answer that solves everything. Only measures that could make things slightly less painful. And again, I'm not smart enough to know the best options. But I do strongly believe unwinding insurance from employment would do wonders, even if that prospect is unrealistic. |

I've never figured out health insurance. I have a good plan that I pay about 10% of the premium.
As an example of recent cataract surgery here is the breakdown: Retail price of surgery on 2 eyes: $12,500 Insurance agreement with surgery center: $4800 Additional cost of anesthesia: $650 Six office visits: $350 My total cost: $550 per eye. The strange thing? I have $2500 max out-of-pocket and this surgery only used $229 of the $2500. I thought I would be responsible for much more because of the max out-of-pocket. |

Without trying to get political, you want people to chase their dreams and entrepreneurial spirit. Its hard to do that in this country because of no socialized health insurance. If you try to be self employed you pay out the ****ing ass for health insurance.
As it is in the current system since you cannot refuse care, you are looking at a huge portion of costs that simply go unpaid by the poor, illegals, or people at rhe end of life. Those costs are passed on to paying customers and their insurance rates are higher because of it.
