racer254 Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 They usual suspects are easily manipulated. If it keeps working, why stop. There isn't a single dem voter that wants to change that side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If his union changed providers he would probably have to change doctors. Then it would be the unions fault. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spin_dry Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 The best solution is price controls on medicine and strict regulation on insurance companies. Nothing else will work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing else will work. Agree that we need to use some market controls on medicine but its only 10% of our total HC costs. Even reducing them 50% will have minimal impact on the system costs as a whole. "Strict regulation on insurance companies" means Medicare level reimbursement which means massive cuts in pay for everyone in the HC industry. Most democrats support cuts in pay in the industry. Real strong middle class policy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Real strong middle class policy. I’m not implying just pharmaceuticals when referring to medicine. I’m using the term globally. The delivery system involving medicine in America is fucked. It’s extremely inefficient. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
