Great Video!
The solution to health care costs is to treat them EXACTLY like car insurance.
I don’t have my insurance pay for gas, I don’t have my insurance pay for gas, I don’t have my insurance pay for routine maintenance like oil changes, tire rotation, transmission/radiator flushes, washer fluid, shock absorbers, alignment.
I DO have my insurance to cover major accidents and catastrophes.
I pay for my insurance out of my own pockets. I can’t afford to pay for my health insurance out of my own pocket because they pay for every time a doctor sticks his finger up my butt, or a hygienist cleans my teeth (thankfully with different fingers).
The prices for all of these basic services is OUTRAGEOUS. Its outrageous because we don’t balk at the sticker price because there are no stickers. Also the insurance companies don’t pay those prices anyway, they haggle, so the prices charged are bullshit prices the doctors are willing to haggle down to.
Its all nebulous crap, and it could be eliminated if we payed for checkups, shots, and drugs out of pocket, like we do for auto work and fluids.
