No. If the insurance didn’t create the atmosphere of territorial turfing, prices would be naturally set by competition. They would be much more accessible.
Hospitals aren’t very competitive. Theres maybe 1 in a large town and that’s it. Small practices are already competitive. You do have a point about insurance companies intentionally driving costs up, but the hospital networks themselves have even more say and the only way to take that power away is having regulators set the prices and not the providers.
Let us not forget the amount of claims that get denied in order to guarantee financial solvency for the middleman parasites.
Average 18% denied, less than a percentage of denied claims appealed. So 82% of claims get covered.
Yeah. Let’s just support this nonsense by printing more money. /s
Actually, as I mentioned, the government would spend less than they currently do.
Direct violence is out of fashion. Now it is all about systematic financial crippling into homelessness and starvation.
Because nobody ever wins with direct violence. Everyone loses.
