You can do that now if you can get access.
I have thought about asking my company to just put my premiums in an HSA. It's large enough now that I could handle a pretty big hit.
Those healthcare savings accounts are not really what I am talking about, although this idea would also be tax and regulation free.
This would be people putting all the money they would normally give to insurance companies into a mutual shared account, which would pay directly for any health costs of its members. Each account would have elected trustees that represent its members interests to healthcare companies, and sets the rules for how much members pay into the account and how money is dispensed to those that need it.
Different accounts may operate differently, such as one covering abortions, and another refusing to do that.
Now end-of-life coverage is 30% of our total bill. That should be in the public discussion.
Absolutely. Just in general most healthcare spending goes to senior citizens, for obvious reasons.
Sounds like a great idea! What will we call it? I know! We'll call it "health insurance!"
Your comment, as usual, makes no sense in the context of the reasonable post that was put up.
