Just to be clear, are you really suggesting that there is nothing between an emergency and elective health care? (i.e. not an emergency and not elective).RichClem » 01 Jan 2014 9:51 am » wrote:
No, I want people to have the freedom to buy whatever health insurance they choose. However, I did point out the common sense observation that the best insurance is for emergencies, not for elective health care, and most people would choose that if simple Free Market reforms were implemented.
As was the case for many decades during which health costs didn't rise by large percentages annually.
Having a middle man destroys the market, i.e. the ability of individuals to perceive prices, and raises health care costs, a point that has been made by countless conservatives and libertarians.
As usual, you label common sense "stupidity."
Also, when you talk of a middle man, are you referring to insurance companies?
