How dare the peasants want to keep more of their money.

How about allowing the selling of health insurance across State Lines.

Too late. I have had Blue Cross/Blue Shield for 35 years. I finally had to let my policy go because the premiums have gone up 250% in the last five years, and my deductible went up 600%. Drove me into debt. I had to end it.

Luckily, I am a Navy vet, so I am going with the VA from here on out. Never signed up with that in mind, but it's sure proving useful now. So far, the VA has proven itself to be as good or better than the civilian docs I have dealt with over the decades.

And I have to admit, not having to spend time worry about "is this covered?" and "how much will this cost me?" every time I go in for a visit is positively liberating. I never considered how much of a burden the whole health "insurance" shit-show has been.

For the record, I received the 2019 renewal for my Humana Medicare Advantage.

There are substantial reductions in price including no monthly payment. Primary co pay and specialist co pay had substantial reductions.

The only way to reduce the cost of health care delivery is to eliminate health insurance and go to a pure cash basis of payment. That is the only way the cost curve can be broken. Excuse me while I go find Sancho Panza and another windmill to tilt at.

Not going to happen. Nor can I count the number of things wrong with this idea.

Health care in this country is designed to shake every penny from our pockets and the nickels from our dead eyes. It is the industrial complex we should fear.
