Indeed, I am a free market capitalist. Health care is not a free market commodity and Insurance is not healthcare. In the free market, I have choices. I decide which services I need and where to buy them. Health care is not that. Doctors decide what I need and where it will be done. Insurance networks tell me where I can go for service. The biggest non free market part of healthcare is cost. Have you ever seen a price list in a waiting room? Try calling a hospital for a cash price on a colonoscopy. You will not get an answer.Let me start out by saying I agree with the Medicare part of your post, although I must admit I am surprised by it....I mean after all you are a rich top 25% person, not a small guy....and Medicare is a socialist program, and I know how you feel about the free market...or are free markets only good when they benefit you?.....I see your point about the hog board, and it sucks but with time you get seniority and the chance to work more...with all that being said I do appreciate the time you spend to post, even when I dont agree with you....thank you...
If you bought a car the way you buy healthcare, it would go something like this. A salesperson would decide which car you need. You take it home. You don't find out what it costs until the bill comes two months later.
