maybe if health insurance becomes one large monopoly, they can have enough leverage to force the health care providers to lower their prices to a reasonable level similar to that of countries where the government has that role (of being a monopoly payer, and forcing the costs to be lower by negotiation leverage)
- URSpider94 9y agoThat is what’s called “single payer” healthcare, and indeed that’s the idea.
