We keeping think that the problem is how to fund HC.
Instead we ought to be thinking about how to REDUCE the cost of HC.
The easiest way to do that is to allow people to know what health care actually costs.
Have you ever tried to get an itemized bill as you would from your veterinarian from your physician?
Then allow insurance companies to sell across state lines.
When I was living in MA there was no competition in the auto insurance market. None. it didn't matter how many companies you called the prices were all within a dollar if each other and lo and behold, the minute MA allowed out of state insurance companies to sell in MA prices plummeted.
it ain't rocket science that competition drives down prices.
So couple the consumer being able to see what he pays and thereby shop for the best deal and allow real competition between insurance companies and both costs and premiums will drop.
