Right? If grandpa dies during his quintuple bypass they still charge you full price.

If you hire a guy to install a fountain in your yard you sure as hell don't pay full price when it doesn't pump water.

Of course you just sue the doctor for malpractice and his insurance settles for much more than grandpa was really worth.

Doctors should work on a commission basis -patient signs an agreement whereby x% of their future earnings gets assigned to the surgeon/hospital.

They sure as fuck wouldn't be doing life-prolonging surgeries on some 80 year old.

Incentives.

Nothing really changes until there's a public option. It's the only effective counter-balance to wrestle power from Big Insurance. Of course, the power then goes to Big Government, but at least the profit motive is gone, and all you have to deal with is bureaucratic inertia, which the private sector health insurance companies already have plenty of.
