I'm old enough to remember when business (and government
) used health "Insurance
" as a recruiting tool.
To remember when economists and others said, "tthis is foolish, you will regret not letting people make their own decisions about how to spend their money; " when the health care industry (including insurance) realized what a gravy train health benefits were and acted accordingl
y.
There IS a private enterprise
-motivated and directed way to deliver health care efficientl
y, productive
ly, and qualitativ
ely better than today, using technology mostly already available, and adding new tech that increases diagnostic efficiency
, quality, and productivi
ty, at the very point in the health care delivery system when such technology costs less to apply, and delivers so much more in well-care management and savings. Think Annual Checkups, complete will a full range of blood and fluid tests, and body scan analysis for less than $200.00 per person (paid out-of-poc
ket, or reimbursib
le/deducti
ble-tax deductible is best).
That health care in the U.S. costs twice as much as it should, yet delivers a quality if care that ranks the U.S. 14-17th in the world due to deficienci
es, is worth of projectile vomiting.
That health care absorbs 16%+ of GDP, when it should be only 7-8% when analyzed from a free-marke
t point of view, is worthy of yet another digestive upset with resultant consequenc
es for the shoes of lobbyists, and politician
s.
