I mean, I would lean towards just having a better healthcare system if it were me, but yeah. You do you.

  The way to have a better healthcare system would be to use insurance for its intended purpose of dealing with catastrophic contingencies, and restore a direct-pay market for routine services.

    Every developed country in the world disagrees with your idea. Why wouldn't you just do what works very well elsewhere?
    • Gormo 3y ago
      Well, apart from not being a fan of the cargo-cult mentality you're applying here, I don't agree with the premise that solution you're implicitly advocating does work very well everywhere else. The insurance model is broken because of political intervention in the first place. I'm not about to give political institutions de facto monopoly power over the most personal and private aspects of my life just to mitigate a public problem that they created to begin with. I want to cut out the middlemen entirely, not just shift dependence to a different, often less trustworthy, set of middlemen.
