The voucher system won't work because
1. seniors will go broke making up the difference, or,
2. political pressure from seniors going broke will cause poltiicians to just keep increasing the voucher amount as insurance costs rise,
and then we're back where we started, with the only difference being that the profiteers in the insurance business will be getting a much bigger chunk.
Horse crap.
Some seniors will need help. But far to many are willing to go see the doctor for the smallest thing.....
And I know from the experience of people who work in hospitals that there are many seniors who wind up in expensive wards just because it is easy to put them there (I am not kidding).
When they feel it, they won't be so willing to spend money they don't need to.
Oh: And does this mean you are arguing with the JAMA ? Just asking.
