Trickle-Up Recession: The 1% Getting Real About the Permanent Fix for the Economy

*Notices a conspicuous silence to this question*... ^^

Because we've responded to this more than two dozen times. It doesn't work. Your tax system doesn't cover a tiny fraction of the cost.

All you do is repeat the same mindless crap over and over, and never have an actual answer.
All you do is repeat criticisms over and over and never have your own actual answer to the healthcare system that cannot continue..

We're not silly enough to think that a 1000 word post on USMB is going to fix US healthcare.
If you want better and less expensive, we need less government control and tort reform.

What country is your proposed solution currently working in?

It appears all the advanced countries have much more government control but probably fewer tort issues.

Good question. Which country with unbridled profiteering off the lives and deaths of human beings is Toddy's extremely vague replacement plan for our current hodgepodge health system actually working in?

The below solution is what would work here and would work really well. The economy would start to grow again as soon as it was implemented: (and BTW, it's not even close to 1,000 words. That's how simple it is. And sometimes, simple works great.)

***********


Here's what I said:

1. Ten cent tax ON THE DOLLAR for each snack food, soda, beer, wine, hard alcohol, smoke tobacco, chewing tobacco, nicorette and even some sundries at EVERY CASH REGISTER, IN EVERY STORE, IN EVERY TOWN, EVERY DAY ACROSS THE US.

2. Tort reform. If you took your own cast off before it was time and you rebroke your arm, you don't get to sue. If the doctor assisted amputating a vital organ off of you without any cause to do so, you can sue. There's the spectrum.

3. Reducing costs and streamlining. Currently we have the lovely hodge-podge system of which the most evil and ruthless souls who walk the earth are taking advantage of. Hospitals do 10,000% markups on actual supply costs in a money racket game with insurance companies. The losers of this murky cash cow are the common man and woman (and children) and actual healthcare. If there was a central oversight and a system of dispensing healthcare ;with citizen panels assisting policy, along with cost auditing, you'd watch the cost of healthcare shrink probably in half overnight.

4. Co-pays at each visit to cover the cost of labor and to discourage overuse by hypochondriacs.

So, you shrink the costs of healthcare way down (I'd look at a veterinary office as a model; since vet school is commonly more or at least as expensive than med school and they dispense health across many species of all types of medicine, all in one office and all for a fraction of the costs charged to humans for the same wraps, bandaging, pain meds, sutures, salves, IVs & x-rays etc. etc. etc.

Then you tap NOT JUST SNACK FOOD, but a myriad of VASTLY MORE EXPENSIVE "optionals" that are the cause, after all, of most healthcare costs. And you have a system that could work.

Last I heard, there was no profit in the Cuban or Venezuelan healthcare system, you should go there and see how it works....so you can teach us.

Be sure to ping me if you make it back.

You act as if every healthcare plan currently in use has no co-pay. Are you kidding me?
Doesn't the current co-pay system discourage overuse?

Then you tap NOT JUST SNACK FOOD, but a myriad of VASTLY MORE EXPENSIVE "optionals"

Great. Which "optionals" and how much money do you hope to raise?

Take a look at medical tourism, to privately run, capitalist based, pay-for-service hospitals. They routinely provide better care, better quality, better customer service, at a lower cost.

We have already responded to all of these false claims. You are just ignoring and doing a copy-paste job.
 
No actually, you have given no specifics of any alternate plan to mine. I'll wait.
