I am unsure we could ever have health insurance again.
Too much of America is super-sized.
So, would insurance be a viable business when half of the potential customers are already burned down houses?
And, I feel it is less than 10% that actually have a healthy diet.
Besides, the #1 thing to reduce health care costs in america is to stop govern-cement miss-regulations
It could still be a viable business for a significant part of the population. The healthy ones would pay the lowest premiums, people with risk factors (overweight, smoker, high-risk job etc) would pay a higher premium, and the burned-down houses...well, if you insure them, you're no longer in the business of insurance.
I believe the significant part of the population is over-weight.
with a good portion of that being super-sized.
It may be less that a third who have a healthy body weight.
From my viewpoint, we should stop trying to think about insurance, and start working at producing as much insulin as cheaply as possible for all america.
That's one option. I'd rather treat the cause than deal with the symptoms. Maybe some health education is necessary?
There is so much wrong with modern (rocky-fellow) medicine, that a complete rebuilding of the system is needed.
Before Obomba-un-care, we had about 9 units of doctor for 10 units of patients.
Obomba lowered that to about 8 units of doctors. So, people lost healthcare.
The FDA sells out to the highest bidder. They are just there to collect kickbacks and keep the little guys out of the field. Thus, the people who most american's believe in, tell them to eat a diet that is designed to kill them.
The education is out there, but the people in charge of the media want 2/3s of the population dead. So, we won't get any real health news on MSmockingbirdM
