>> Why is a hospital any different? Why not fix the dumb system?

I'm totally in favor of solving the problem. But to solve it the first step is to totally, 100% get government out of the health care business. Medicare, totally privatized. And I really don't know how you do that with liberal nutjobs all over the place.

It is worth remembering that prior to Medicare, hospitals hand-typed the bill for services and there were no writeoffs or "adjustments". You just paid the damned bill on your way out. And it was affordable. Four days in the hospital in June, 1965 would cost you maybe $200. No one needed health insurance. It was your government who fucked the entire thing up.

So, you want to fix it? Get rid of Medicare. I'm good with that.
