So what are you calling what we have now?
How is it better?
You have a single provider for water and electricity, right? Do you ever get water and electricity?
You have a single road network, right? it's a miracle you can get anywhere.

What we have now needs improvement (especially with price transparency), but Leftist want to go the "other way" for full socialized medicine.

There were plenty of roads and water before Federal income tax.

We need to make cross-state health insurance legal, and allow companies to collude to create insurance companies for the benefit of employees.
No reason 50 local businesses shouldn't be allowed to combine into a pool and buy or start health insurance for their employees. Other than big Donor Insurance Companies.
Free Market Approach:
Allow insurance across state lines
Allow off shore procedures
Allow Catastrophic coverage (paying out of pocket for immunizations and routine medicine would lower costs)
Allow club or employer co-ops to buy medical insurance wholesale
Free for Everyone National Medical Service:
Set up Medical Academies and Medical ROTC where the graduate serve a 5 year commitment and are assigned locations where they are needed.
Set up High School medical tracks to train medics, equipment technicians, dental hygienists and the like
Why should the burden of health care be tasked to employers?
Wouldn’t it be much easier to ban employers from being involved in the healthcare of employees?

Lol, burden? Employers want it that way, so that employees have the problem of changing insurance when they change jobs.
The enemy is really the US Chamber of Commerce, the biggest lobbyist in DC by a long shot, which wants "strengthening the employer-sponsored system".
Why I'm glad ObamaCare is dead and single payer along with it
Obama care is based on private insurances.

You can't call something "privatized" when the government is forcing you to buy it. That's the antithesis of a free market.
Yep, it's amazing that, as bad as others characterize the health care systems of Canada or the UK, they deliver better care (by any measurable result) for ~1/2 the cost.
Personally, I'm typically in favor of systems that deliver better results for less money, but that's just me.

I like that they blacked out the Drs name in the text but left it in the FAX notes at the top.

I noticed that too. I'm sure that's a private fax number though
If you search that fax number, it comes back to the doctor, so it appears it's a good number.

Britain's National Health Service suggests the answer is NO.
The free market can definitely improve non-emergency health care in the US. What we have now is hidden random prices which are not even the same for every patient of the same provider. "For you? Let's see, I think I'll charge you more than I charge others because you're trying to escape the insurance cartel...
4.5 years! Hope that brain cancer clears up on its own!
Too late. The Chinese beat us to it...
errc saysSo should we make the roads look like the 1900’s?

I'll ask again, how will this happen under the insurance company billing system? You keep spewing out these lame platitudes that mean nothing. How about some nuts and bolts details of how posting prices, which anyone can find out anyway if they wanted, will create a free market and lower prices? People go to the doctors that are on their insurance.
Still waiting for this information from the last 10 times I've asked. It's true because I believe it should be true doesn't count.
