Nice theory, but in practical application. 40% of those on medicare and medicaid are having extreme difficulties in finding providers. This is projected to get much worse. Democrats will have a sudden shock at how many will openly defy it, but even to a greater extent the shock that the cost of subsiding these people is higher then even the CBO currently projects.
Can you please provide your sources. Thanks!
And what I say is not a "theory", people with insurance have been covering the uninsured for years which is driving up costs for everyone.
That's of course not strictly true. People who don't make claims on their health insurance subsidize people who do. But first that is the nature of insurance, and second insurance is a voluntary contract. At least it was until O-care.
It is well known and has been posted multiple times that Medicare/Medicaid recipients have trouble finding doctors because reimbursements are below market rates. This is part of what drives up medical costs, btw as the rest of us have to subsidize Medicare patients.
None of what you says has anything to do with or discredits what I said and the fact that the insured have been picking up the costs of the uninsured for years now.
