people are not poor in the us. we have the seventh highest per-capita income in the world. i don't think people realize how much of their pay goes to medicare because it's gone before you see it. take the money for medicare and deposit it in their hsa. no more use-it-or-lose-it mentality to healthcare, which leads to extraneous spending and falsely manipulates the health services market.
and if you are spending YOUR money as opposed to your insurance company's co-pay, you are going to be a lot more informed about the choices you make with your healthcare expenditures, so is everyone else, and so are healthcare providers.
and yes everyone should have mandatory catastrophic insurance. the premiums will not be that high with everyone paying in. shit does not happen to everyone all the time.
