My reaction exactly. This article basically says we can achieve much of the savings of Medicare for all if insurance companies and providers put aside self-interest to voluntarily and in a coordinated manner adopt the aspects of Medicare for all that reduce costs! And if apes had tails they'd be monkeys!
- nunie123 5y agoI just started at a health insurance startup that is doing exactly what the article recommends: simplifying billing. Patients pay for procedures "in cash", using a card debiting the insurance company's account. Because doctors charge less for people paying in cash, the insurance is cheaper than traditional insurance. We're already operating in a few markets. It'll be interesting to see how the traditional insurance companies react once we start significantly encroaching on their market share.
