re: The most direct one would be an anti-gouging law, to make it illegal to charge uninsured individuals more than, say, 125% of the lowest cost for which the provider is contracted. That would probably raise costs overall... So now you admit that "retail" medical customers are subsidizing "wholesale" (insurance) customers. re: I haven't seen any proposals to address the problem you care so much about. Have you seen or made any? I support a single payer system (and have on this thread and other threads). It's pretty simple really. Real world data proves that it is 50% cheaper and in the gross higher quality.
