I am willing to try anything that what we have right now in healthcare BUT looking at Medicare by itself, I am a bit wary of Govt's involvement completely. I think we should cut out the middleman mafia a.k.a Insurance company from EVERY visit and instead let care providers compete in the market. i am ok for a nephrologist to charge $x more than the next door nephrologist as long as their service and care is better and let the patients decide that. I do agree that Govt. should step in to probably regulate price gouging so that no one can charge me $500 for a toilet paper roll.

- x86_64Ubuntu 5y agoCompetition only works when you understand the service process, and can make a decision to go to another provider with little cost. When they bring in a medical provider or have to perform another procedure while you are unconscious, you can't defend against gouging.
