"Single Payer would work."

The only words people who actually understand the health care system need to hear to know they shouldn't even bother adding to the derp.

Derp on.

Midcap, if you have a medical condition that can be controlled/ended with reasonable lifestyle changes, consider doing it for your benefit.

It depends on which side of the spectrum you are on.
One side got more billionaires than ever before made on the backs of medical needs for Covid and vaccines...

The other solution is to be healthy, then you don't need health care.

Pretty much all things the government sticks their fat greasy fingers into turns into a system that screws the middle class, why should healthcare be any different.

Prior to the ACA though, you literally had two choices...die or die pennyless.

We need less regulation, not more, of our healthcare system.   But because of Medicare and Medicaid, I'm not sure the system can be "unfucked."

only people that shit on medicaid are the hospitals who already make a fuck killing.

Don't try to tell me that Primary Cares can't make money off medicaid and medicare...two docs in my town who have the biggest fucking house in the tri parish area bigger than Gary Chouest only take medicaid and medicare.

So much so those on medicaid get better medical care than private payers get because there is an inventive to run more test and get paid more per visit.

That's not the [root] problem. Healthcare insurance is supposed to be INSURANCE that utilizes a pool of people who pay a premium for an infrequently used (but very costly) service that would typically be too expensive for an individual in the pool. The pool therefore spreads the cost across a larger number of people to make the service affordable. The root problem is healthcare insurance has by and large ceased to function as insurance and instead functions more like a gym membership. This of course is a simplification since the problems with the US Healthcare system are not singular in nature, but eliminating insurance as a payment method for routine medical care and only having healthcare insurance for catastrophic care would go a long way to righting healthcare cost.

I forget, which part of the constitution gives the federal government authority to be involved in healthcare?
