States and localities are the proper places for experimentation on health care. If Utah wants to try single-payer, fine - let them do it. AND let them pay for it.
If/when it fails, then the smaller number of bureaucrats, cronies and people attached to it, the easier it is to reform and change it. Of course, any single-payer will never succeed, as they simply can not offer choice.
Mitt Romney, the “Johnny Appleseed” of Single Payer Healthcare...
AKA miserable, failed Government Medicine - going to the doctor is like going to the Dept of Motor Vehicles except there's a six-month waiting list.
Nobody who understands this disaster would vote for it.
Competition, or the lack of it is the rub. Abolishing all health insurance and going to cash only financing of healthcare services is the only way to restore affordability and choice. Of course that boat sailed over eighty years ago.
There really is no such thing as “nonprofit”. These behemoths rake in the dollars tax free and are subsidized. They make a very tidy profit. It’s all disclosed by law.
Where is the part about Republicans loving this? Nowhere in the article.
The cost of healthcare will not go down until there are less fat people here. I saw somewhere that healthcare costs would go down 50% if we eliminated type 2 and prediabetic conditions. President Trump could take the lead on this, followed by our evangelical pastors, many of whom are themselves obese. Just stop eating mounds of crap.
