- mindslight 11y ago"Insurance" blew the fuck out of that "market" long ago. The finance machine has moved on to pet care. Healthcare reform would be making HMOs illegal, requiring any insurance to be provider and procedure agnostic, and mandating the exact same price schedule for all payers. Only the last is strictly necessary for sanity, but the cancer is so entrenched by now that invasive methods are required to kill it. Percentage-based copays would arise naturally from this, leading to some semblance of transparency and market competition.
