Gary,
You knock the system so explain how you contain costs without a high or deferred refusal rate. Ins co rate 86th in the profit thing, 3 to 4%. Learn the causes of high HC first. Just remember with gvt HC you can't sue and there is no incentive for people to get into medicine and no way to get rid of bad docs or facilities. Why do you think England has to import doctors? HC isn't free and as for the VA, it should be the best and free to those whose served including using doctors and hospitals closer to home or who more expetise in certain areas.
One problem with our system is that those who add to the problem, lawyers do better than those treating us, doctors. I recenty when to my dr for weight loss. He had me go through teasts that were barely related from Xray and C Scans to lab work. He told me the cause was stress and not eating right but protocol from his lawyer said to CYA do all of these proceedures. I got dinged $5 to $30 for every test. Yet a non citizen gets all this free by going to the ER.
