I think the most important thing in choosing healthcare insurance is to pay more attention to it. Insurance is so important because it helps to be protected from very dangerous situations. I don't like it when my friends don't have it, and I always try to help them make their lives more comfortable. I think the second most important thing in choosing healthcare insurance is to choose very wise and careful insurance. Insurance can save your life if you're in an accident, which is also very expensive. That's why I am insured at [centerofadvancedwellness.com]. They offered me a great plan.

I like the idea of Medicare for All, to a certain point. Hospitalization and emergency care needs to be removed from the fee for service model of financing. As much as most people complain about the costs of a hospital stay, an ER visit, or an ambulance ride, keep this in mind: Most of those services are provided by non-profit organizations. The costs are not what it takes to care for you, the individual, but a portion of the overall operation of that service. As an example, an ER sees 150 patients one day, and 100 the next. They set the staffing and other resource levels at the higher number. So, the day where they only saw 100 patients, if they were to charge a straight fee for services provided, they wouldn't be able to pay for the expenses that occurred on the day with the less than capacity activity. Recognizing that institutional health care is different than continuing, on going, or tertiary health care (ie doctor visits, outpatient procedures, diagnostic testing, etc) is the key to making health care affordable.

So who should pay for institutional health care? Well, answer this: when you call 911 because your "she-Shed" is on fire, do you pay for the fire department to respond (most people don't...) When you call 911 because your neighbor is blasting Slayer, do you have to pay for the police to come and tell him to turn it down?. So why is it that when you call 911 because you're having a heart attack, you have to pay for that?

I am just glad some billionaire that owns hundreds of thousands of shares of Aetna gets to make money off my diabetes.

Not all Medicare for All proposals are the same. I have considered the idea of mandating that all health insurance companies be nonprofit, but... this doesn't actually get at pricing. Such a nonprofit mandate would have to extend to healthcare providers as well. This too is a problem with Medicare.

By what objective criteria can anyone claim that our health care system is the best ?
These three (arguably the most important) argue against that claim :
a) cost
b) infant mortality
c) life expectancy
Given the cost, our outcomes (b,c) should be much better !

I don't know the answer but the systems in place suck for everyone but the wealthy.
