Ann Coulter on Health Care Fix

Simple, clear, effective. So why not?
Cue SJW uproar.

This is how it works today:
ME: I'm perfectly healthy, but I'd like to buy health insurance for heart disease, broken bones, cancer, and everything else that a normal person would ever need, but no more. INSURANCE COMPANY: That will be $700 a month, the deductible is $35,000, no decent hospital will take it, and you have to pay for doctor's visits yourself. But your plan covers shrinks, infertility treatments, sex change operations, autism spectrum disorder treatment, drug rehab and 67 other things you will never need.
UNDER ANN'S PLAN: That will be $50 a month, the deductible is $1,000, you can see any doctor you'd like, and you have full coverage for any important medical problems you could conceivably have in a million years.
Mine is a two-step plan (and you don't have to do the second step, so it's really a one-step plan).
Cue SJW uproar.

in theory this is great but how would the insurance companies make any money? trust me the insurance companies do not want this. we have to hold them and their lobbying efforts accountable as well.

When are you going to stop letting people lie to you just because they are "conservative"?

It doesn't have to be $50. But start somewhere and let's see what happens.

Posted this the other day in the hopes of getting some well thought out pros/cons...

Something I've tossed about for a while now but would really like constructive feedback on: barring insurance companies from dealing with medical personnel/facilities.
Around 25% of medical costs come from the brigade of employees a doctor needs to keep around just to handle dealing with the various insurance companies and each one's particular way of doing things.
Removing this avenue does two things:
-it lowers costs by allowing the medical professional/establishment to cut staff
-eventually market forces would push insurance companies to streamline their services

I thought they put a horse down when it broke it's leg.

will never see the light of day.
we are already one big risk pool and for all practical purposes single payer despite having the illusion of choice.
Healthy, contributing citizens will pay for the health care of those who aren't as they do with everything else the government operates, roads, as an example.
We are simply watching the same chess pieces being moved around on the same board
