i cant help but think to take away all incentives and distortions that create employer paid healthcare. its an individual decision that the companies need't make. its simply a trend that was started as a reaction of federal law after the war.
part of the distortion is in the policies, the insurance companies dont charge the individual but the lifestyle of the entire company. which is hard to crunch numbers too so they end up on the high end. also any employer mandated insurance is now tying employment with healthcare increases. so increased costs equal increased unemployment, which would be scary. without healthcare we would probably also see a larger increase in wages. with that people would be better to use that money as they see fit. it would also bring the consumer to the insurance agency, theyd be more informed and because the insurer is chargin a large company it would force them to have to be more competitive with more option for individuals. open state lines is a must too. and cutting legislation that supports incentives to hospitals and the regulations that favor hospitals over specialist clinics. and any regulation dealing with the newest equipment (not sure if there is but wouldnt be surprised). cutting a lot of whats in place will open the market and cut costs with out spending. and slowly back pedal medicare and other gov programs as costs are cut back.
also need to get peopel to understand healthcare is a personal responsibility. if u TRULY VALUE healthcare as super important you may want to go without cable tv, eat cheaper, the iphone att plan, work 2 jobs, and really decide on a personal hierarchy system of importance.
the only downside i can think of with cutting employer based insurance incentives would be that more people go uninsured, for a time because of a stalemate game. but it would be only temporary becuase insurance companies cant exist with out the mutual relationship of consumers. capitalism is a mutualistic system liek a remora and shark after all. and that period of harshness people will jsut have to deal with if they want change. but it all has to be laid out perfectly in baby steps. if their exists still one large distortion of gov policy shit could get messed up, becuase washington doesnt flow liek water and is too slow to adapt to counter the new problems from that single distortion as things are back peddled.
but of course the politics involved these days and the alleyway deals its unlikely to happen. instead they will sell us more government with ever rising costs too until the rich become middle class and middle class become poor.... and so on. i mean look at the health policy labeled out today. it was the some of the worst garbage ive seen yet. if healthcare is so big to the left why wont they focus on the real issues that increased costs, and look at what causes can be corrected or what causes are simply a expensive product liek an enzo of healthcare and realize that only the wealthy can afford, and treat it like a business. becuas eno matter how much u whine their wont be equal healthcare for all, jsut liek no enzos for all.
