I've come to the viewpoint that perhaps going full-retard in either direction- true free market or true single-payer- would be far preferable to what we have now. How to GET there, I have no idea. The obstacles in either direction appear insurmountable.
there it is. we're where we are for a reason. and moving in any direction is never easy. people are pushing from both ends and both sides of the wagon, all in different directions.
i've thought for some time we'd be better served without insurance influence/input at all. it'd all be between the patient and their doctor. that would leave folks unable to pay in a bind, but i'm not sure that death rates would be affected one iota.
