How Do We Fix American Healthcare?

-Dismantle the ACA.
-Remove the mandatory nature of emergency rooms having to take anyone who comes in (limit it to serious or life-threatening issues).
-Put a firewall up between insurance providers and medical professionals/establishment.

Done.

I have a lot to say on this but don’t really want to go in on it right now.

I’ll just drop one thought:

Health insurance shouldn’t be used for routine family doctor’s visits when your kid has strep throat. Just handle that $150 charge like you do when your car needs a new battery and move on.

Let the government do it. Look how well they have done with the education system.

It would take undoing about a hundred years of damage. The best way for the healthcare system to work is to remember that healthcare is an industry, insurance companies and doctors are both working to provide a living for themselves and their families first. With any public service, what works best for everyone is to let the free market dictate costs and allow people to have a choice of whether or not they want health insurance, what kind of insurance they want, and which doctor they want to see. The only reason that premiums are so high right now is because the government has steadily built up a monopoly over the health insurance industry. And even if you can’t afford insurance, we are the most generous country on earth. Instead of waiting on the government to rescue you, your neighbors, friends, and family should be there to help you with your costs. Government programs like Medicaid, Medicare, and the ACA will all collapse on their own, but we should be slowly phasing out of those programs rather than force people my age to pay the taxes and buy into Medicare and Social Security when both will be bankrupt by the time we’re eligible.

You allow insurance companies to compete nation wide and across state lines

That will be HUGE

Make it mandatory (and enforce it) for providers to bill insurance companies rather than individuals

I love when the government tells me how much and what healthcare I can have

Bernie’s estimates are shite.

Medicare for all would increase expenditures by a minimum of 20% from current levels.

Eat less exercise more.

I pay $23 a paycheck for some badass BCBS. Don’t frick with my policy.
