It's silly to buy insurance and pay for sickly people, administrative costs, false claims, excessive medical efforts, profits for the insurers, tax on the insurers, tax on all the people working in the insurance business.

Golden words, Mq. The items you mentioned, plus the costs of complying with insane volumes of government regulation - is where most healthcare dollars are spent.

I think there is need for "catastrophic" insurance. I'd say the deductible ought to be in the neighborhood of a persons monthly income - but the specific amounts should be up to individuals to decide. Such insurance would be, at least, real "insurance" - against devastating costs - rather than a fully prepaid service plan.

Government takes a lion's share out of everything it touches. ObamaCare is not a solution - it is a symptom of a worsening problem.
