You can keep the same system we have now and everything would be great if you face where most of the money goes, end of life. We will spend on average 45% of our total healthcare expense in our whole lifetime in the last 6 months of our lives.

Families cant just let mom or granny go. All the expensive care is covered so lets spend a million or more giving her another 3-6 months of life. If we could just let the elderly at the end of life die instead of spending treasure to give our 87 year old grandma another 3-5 months. But, thats never going to happen.

You are missing my point.

State and federal governments mandate that insurance companies cover all sorts of things. So even if it’s impossible for my wife and I to conceive a child, our health coverage has to contain coverage for pregnancy. All the mental heath issues? Mandated to be covered. Some dude thinks he’s a woman trapped in a dudes body. ****ing covered.

Let the consumer decided what coverage they actually want or need and it would be more affordable. The Shia broken because it’s required to cover all things for all people.
