10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
It's not a fucking alternative, you'll still need insurance if you get referred somewhere else.
It's just yet another monthly bill.
Americans will sign up for any crazy scheme that drains their wallets as long as you don't call it "paying a tax for public access to healthcare"
Now streamline it, such that there's only one provider, make the subscription mandatory, and have those subscription fees go to the government.
Also, the sole provider doesn't have a mechanism or incentive to deny service to any of its subscribers. The metric would be maximizing health outcomes with the budget provided by the government.
Prescriptions, which she can dispense, and lab tests are extra, but Molaska said in an interview that they are often much less expensive when paid for out of pocket rather than as part of an insurance plan.
Yeah no. Certain generics sure, but collective bargaining is much more effective than allowing the market to run wild with perverse incentives.
Allowing Medicare Part D (which is just the prescription coverage) to be open to all Americans irrespective of their age could do exactly what you're talking about.
I hate this place. Jfc. How much lower do we need to sink before this shit crumbles away? This short term greed is just burying this country and everyone knows it but is watching the train derail in real time.
