Seems to work ok in many places around the world and in different products within the us. You don't need 'group buying' for auto or home insurance, or car or home purchases.
In fact group buying probably hinders the ability to get the right product/person match.
Of all the problems to solve, it seems pretty easy. Even if that just means groupon for benefits.
- rspeer 11y agoI'll bite. Where are these "many places around the world" that have your desired laissez-faire approach to health care? Are you talking about places like India or what? Also, I would hate to see a health care system as badly managed as Groupon.
- brc 11y agoI live in Australia. I have private health insurance. It's an old policy from when I was employed with a package. The policy costs no more than when it was part of that package. That's maybe because the policy is priced based on me (age mostly) rather than the employer. I'm not 100% sure why there's no real difference between employer based policies and personal policies. Anyway point is the problem is solve able.
- rspeer 11y agoI'm just getting this from Wikipedia, but: "Health care in Australia is universal. The federal government pays a large percentage of the cost of services in public hospitals." I would happily have Australia's solution in the US. It would go much farther than Obamacare.
