We dont have health care. We have sick care. Big Harma keeps folks sick and on their "treatments".

I don't see the value in this. It is just ACA subsidies. So you have to pay the $1500 for a policy out of pocket and then the government sends you $900 for the subsidy? The people who are getting policies off the market are not likely to pay $1500 out of pocket. They don't even want to pay the $600.

This will not fix the problem. The fix is to arrest pharma and hospital folk for charging different prices for insured vs. uninsured. A violation of

Indictments, 15 USC Ch 1 (Med/Ph): 0

Which has gone to the Supreme court and been validated. 10 year prison sentence, not a fine. Would get their attention. They mail me "Explanations of Benefits" every month which are admissions of a felony.

Same, published, price for everyone. No ticky, tacky, docs sticking their head in the door for $2,000.

Prices drop by 80%, insurance changes back to catastrophic coverage.

Right now the Insurance companies are trying to get the prices as high as possible because they make a fixed percentage of the charges. The negotiations over price are fake, both sides want the prices high.

Check out Oklahoma Surgery center, fixed prices and they cover anything that goes wrong, as they should. Means they keep things sterile.

Looked up Lithotripsy, which ran $25k at Kaiser, $6,300 at Oklahoma.
