[QUOTE="Frederick, post: 3710971, member: 17825"] It will definitely be efficient in the sense that those who are healthy will receive great care at lower cost…but it’s usually folks who are older or unable to work that need it most…remember before they took away pre existing conditions where having a medical issue could be used as an excuse to refuse coverage? And if you became sick they could drop you…there were also lifetime coverage limits..expensive cancer treatment or medication? Sorry you d hit your 100k lifetime limit and we will no longer cover you. You’re on your own…I mean it goes on and on… there’s a reason there are regulations on healthcare, why Medicaid and Medicare exist…specifically because of the failures of the free market…this isn’t a cell phone plan that you can do without, eventually you will need healthcare…in the old days, sure you could just pay a dr a small fee and he’d give you some opiates or something…but nowadays you need advanced medical equipment, medication and well paid professional drs..are we gonna remove the regulations on dr licensing too? This **** is expensive… It will be great for the few but a lot of people will slip through the cracks..especially folks with long term conditions like diabetes, multiple sclerosis etc…no more Medicare for you… [/QUOTE]
