But hey, it's part of the Trump plan, and everyone likes the idea. So I guess it's all good.
One day I'd like to see someone actually put out a plan that lowers the cost of healthcare. Nobody has, including Trump. His plan is nothing different than a combination of what McCain offered, Romney offered, and what those nasty establishment Republicans in DC have been trying to do for the last 10 years.
competition by nature reduces costs.
the fact is there is little to 0 competition in the healthcare space.
it has been that way for a while. basically each state has allowed a giant monopoly
on healthcare and insurance.
a lot of the things in trumps plan opens those up.
it shouldn't matter where I get my insurance from. if it says that I have a co-pay of this and have to pay y% then that is what I do.
just like plan A in ND shouldn't cost 400 less than the same plan A in NY but it does.
hospitals alone will discount 80-90% of the cost if you pay cash.
