- Next, allow the market to go back and make a separate, independent market based system. You want to go to a private MD, or a Private hospital that does not participate in National Healthcare? You can buy an insurance policy to cover that or pay cash for doctor's visits. I promise that a market based insurance covers private system would see premiums fall by 50%! America would still have the best healthcare in the World, we would still have innovation, you just won't get the best for "free" .
No, the premiums would NOT fall - because the National HC system would ensure that the system remains bloated. Just like private schools aren't cheaper than public, because public sets the minimum cost standard.
.I don't agree. The private system would not be required to give"fee" care to those who don't pay, shifting the cost of that service to others in the system. In the Private system, you pay, or you go to the Government system. Costs will come down because EVERYONE that utilizes the Private system will support it.
