especially true if interstate competition was allowed.
I mean it's allowed now. All one has to do is file for a license in each state and get plans approved.
While it would save some compliance department budget, the biggest problem is negotiating provider contracts in FL if you are an insurer in Nebraska.
If you don't have negotiating power then you can't get good discounts. No good discounts, no good premium. No good premium, no good sales.
It's the old chicken and egg thing.

At least you are addressing the 85%.

The pathetic thing is if you add up all the costs associated with the ACA and then add in what will be spent to repeal and replace it, it would have been cheaper for the government to just send every American family $1M tax free and told them to buy their own god damned insurance.
Um, 125 million households. That would mean $125 trillion dollars for your plan.
The US has a lot of money. Not that much though.

We do? Did you mean we borrow a lot of money to pay for stuff we can't afford?

You can have a lot of money and still end up spending more than you can afford.
Just look at professional athletes and performers who couldn't maintain their stardom.

Where is this "a lot of money"? I'd like to see it.

If the liberals have their way it will be your problem when you return home sadly.

Tort reform
I've been advocating for this long before I arrived here. I think patients should have the right to sue and get whatever amount the jury decides. But the percentage of the judgment allowed to an attorney should be capped. I'd say 1 percent is about right.
There would be a huge drop in suits and thus malpractice rates.

You still have the network/discount hurdles to overcome which at least in the beginning will eat up any savings realized by loosening up regulatory and compliance costs.

Open up insurance to compete across state lines.
We should even allow policies to be sold from other countries. Why limit it to just USA?

Drug costs
Again, the best way to lower these costs is to allow global commerce. If we are allowed to buy drugs from anywhere in the world, the FDA would become irrelevant.

It's odd to me that someone would have understood your original post any other way than the above. I agree 100 % that those restrictions should be lifted, and nobody should be pretending like the problem we have now is that companies simply don't like having customers.

I think they should just have free government hospitals, which only use generics and cannot be sued for malpractice, for all legal Americans. Probably the best solution I've ever heard anyone come up with.
