Reply #35: I want real reform [View All]

I want everyone to have greater access to LESS expensive HC - I'm not shilling for any parties plan. I look at what has proven to work and what has proven to be a failure. Food costs haven't skyrocketed, but I bet they would if we had food insurance. Health insurance as presently operated is a failure.

What would happen if you went the grocery store and put everything in the cart that you thought you might need. The items didn't have any prices marked on them and when you check out you only pay a small co-pay. You do however pay a large premium every month. Do you think people would buy more than they need and do you think prices would remain low? What do you care if a box of Wheaties is $2 or $10. What do you care if one store is sell it for $1.50 cents less than another? You don't because you have no idea what things cost and what things cost ultimately don't matter. The only thing that matters is the co-pay and the premium. It is insane and prices will climb.

We need to fundamentally change the system.
