Yes, as I said multiple times, US healthcare is bad.
> What you propose will make it more expensive
Do you have any evidence for this, or are you just going to drop the claim and walk away?
I have some constructive evidence to the contrary, which I've already mentioned; the medical systems of Mexico and India.
> The US medical system is currently risk averse
Which is one of the many reasons that substantially deregulated medicine is a good idea.
- mantas 10y agoMexico health care is doing very poorly [1] and they've switched to single-payer euro-style system recently [2]. India is switching to single-payer too [3]. Their current numbers don't look nice either.

- wyager 10y agoI'm referring to the separate, private medical industry in Mexico, not the horrible state-managed medical system. But you're right; medical systems with heavy government involvement are usually bad.
- mantas 10y agoBut regular Mexicans don't go to those private hospitals. Actually Mexico is now introducing more gov involvement to fix things. They were much more lax before. Btw, single-payer health care is going pretty well over there in Europe...
