Switch to Medicare capitalism:

1) every American immediately goes on Medicare
2) every American gets a voucher for $8300 that could be converted to cash at end of year if not spent
3) every provider must publish prices in comparable way so consumers can compare prices.
4) if $8300 is not enough Medicare pays difference

This would would start out on day one costing what it costs now but very quickly drop prices 80% which would be enough to pay off national debt in 6 years.

So basically what you want to do is have people withhold any medical care in the hope they get a payout at the end of the year? Yeah, that won't cause any healthcare issues :roll:

thats the way money works. What you don't spend you get to keep. Do you want to make money illegal????

No what it does is motivate people to not seek medical attention until it's catastrophic and costs taxpayers more. But then folks like you like people dying or going bankrupt.

you said people could not be trusted to spend their own money on health care and so we needed a libNazi police force to make sure they went to doctor, ate right, and did their exercise????

"No what it[ having money] does is motivate people to not seek medical attention until it's catastrophic and costs taxpayers more."

so your solution is a libNazi police force to make them go to the doctor? Making money illegal so people cant save it?

Again with your fairytales, that isn't what I said. What is it about "undisclosed" cons like yourself making up ****? Quite dishonest of you but I'm not surprised considering your lean.

What happened? Your other thread failed...so you started a new one that says the same thing?

You DO know the saying..."The definition of insane is when you do the same thing over and over...expecting different results".

I quoted what you said. As a typical liberal you said people could not be trusted to spend their own money on health care because they would spend it on something else. Do you want to give them food vouchers to make sure they buy food and don't wasted their cash on other things??
