Mark Cuban's Healthcare Fix: We Need a Single-Payer System

Whether it's Medicaid or a new program, every single person in this country should be covered 100% for chronic physical or mental illness and for any life-threatening injury.

The premiums that we are paying to insurance companies as individuals or as company coverage for these significant risks would go from the insurance companies to the IRS. Only the cost of covering what's left would continue being paid to the insurance companies. 

It would not be hard to do the math. Every insurance company does this analysis already. The government does this analysis already. We all would end up paying more in taxes, but less in insurance and healthcare costs over time. 

There would be no mandates. There would be no individual penalties. No tax credits. No subsidies. No offsets or deductions for buying higher end insurance. This will be single payer (yes, I know it's a dirty phrase in this country) for chronic physical or mental illness and for any life threatening injury. 

Everything not covered by the above can be covered by insurance sold on the free market, managed by the states, sold across state lines, without government interference.

I don't like him either, but i'm willing to look past it and admit I like his idear.   But I have one question.  What do we do with those who refuse to have insurance?  Or am I having a senior moment here and not understanding it all?

Basic HC should be covered for everyone without any insurance.

why?

are oil changes covered for every one?

do u know I can no longer negotiate a cash deal with my doctor like I did before the ACA . I always had a higher deductible and a chunk of cash in health savings . I would pay on the spot in cash and get form 15 to 30% off.

now if U have insurance they by law have to run it through your insurance even when they and u know it will not be covered. U can tell just with the paper work involved the government was involved it that bull shit .
