I think this provides the best way to move forward in the way we address healthcare: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052970204251404574342170072865070.html http://online.wsj.com/article/SB1000142405297020425140457434... It starts by addressing systemic issues: 1. Remove tax advantages from corporate plans 2. Allow people to see what their treatments cost -- pay for results instead of doctor anguish (the current way medicare works -- a truly horrible system). 3. Allow people to buy insurance from anywhere in the country. 4. Change the expectations of health insurance -- it covers disastrous problems. For everyday maintenance it's up to you, and you better make sure you do it because your catastrophic health insurance will raise your rates significantly if you don't take care of yourself. 5. If you have something happen that would be considered "a preexisting condition" for other providers your provider sets up a fund for you that covers that. For instance if you have cancer -- the health insurance you have at the time of diagnosis will cover the costs. None of these need government mandates, they just need the government to get out of the way. If you look at Lasik eye surgery costs the technology has gotten better and the price has declined -- that's what happens when people shop around, which is the majority of all healthcare dollars.
