I'm all in for REAL market efficiency.

Hondo of course will fight this tooth and nail because the Health Insurance lobby is the one buttering his bread to spam our bored above all else else. See Obamacare threads. #aclockworkshill #rightontim #lapdog #Obamacarewarrior #heswiththem

    HSA's are the way to go. Have people fund their healthcare needs through a payroll savings plan much like SS.

    Right now I’d settle for price tags.

    I think the 75% thing is bullshit. Price tags are hard because so many procedures are needed right now. The market for elective stuff is there already. Cancer treatments I guess you could shop around. But a lot of the costs are from accidents and such where they need you in a hospital right now. You can't pick which ambulance, surgeon, etc. MRIs and other none emergency type stuff you could do. Prescription drugs you can look at prices but the stuff people actually need, like cancer drugs, are ridiculous expensive regardless.

    Like I said, it will work in some ways but not to the tune of 75%.

    Car accidents are the cause of expensive health care

    Obamacare was mostly awful. I've stated that many times. I did argue, however, with idiots like you that spout bullshit about it that's not true.

    You still shill for it and now are shilling for single payer

    Bullshit about it that's not true? Saving 2500? Keeping your doctor?

    Maybe take the rest of the day off and kill yourself

    I was right. You're still a pathological lying #clockworkshill.

    You have ZERO credibility. You should kill yourself to gain an ounce back.

    I'm willing to give credit on pre-existing conditions.
