This is from a post I made on another thread: “I was enlisted Air Force, and therefore I received a lower level of medical care than officers. (I had several personal experiences and several observations that clearly demonstrated this; and it appears to be true currently.) In the military this can be considered just in a system where people are not equal. In fact most of the world is like this. So, if we had a basic government regulated system for emergency health care (or health care in general) where the government had their noses in it to minimize cost but provide some fairly good care; then allowed private companies to sell insurance policies for expenses above what the government system provided, would we have an architecture for a solution?”
Right now we have several classes of people when it comes to health care. One class is the no insurance class. The no insurance class costs me money is several ways, e.g. having to charge me more to cover the cost of treating the no insurance class. Many members of the no insurance class are children that are not getting timely treatment when the costs would be the lowest so they are costing me more, sometimes much more over a long time. Unless we find a way to not treat those that can’t pay, including having them die in the ER parking lot, we’ll continue with this high cost architecture for health care.
