The Private Sector Is Yet Again Rushing to Save Us from Government

What Did Government Use for Light Before Candles? Electricity The answer to everything even remotely policy-related - is less government. Because the original sin of everything even remotely policy-related - is too much government. Want to solve our health care “crisis” - ??? Undo the original government sins. After World War II - taxes were kept at during-WW II levels. So in an end run around this too much government - the private sector started offering employees untaxed “benefits”…including health insurance. Post-WW II set up a bizarre, antithetical-to-Reality system…where health insurance isn’t tied to the person - it’s tied to the person’s employer. Which is inherently very stupid. Post-WW II set up a bizarre, antithetical-to-Reality system…where health insurance stopped being a catastrophic policy, and started paying for EVERY encounter with a health care provider. Car insurance pays when you wrap your car around a tree. Imagine how stupid and expensive it would be - if they were paying for everything up to and including oil changes and windshield wipers. Post-WW II also set up a bizarre, antithetical-to-Reality third-party-payer system. The doctor and patient are in the room negotiating services and terms - the guy picking up the tab is not. Which guarantees skyrocketing prices and costs. Because human nature. A buyer wants to buy as much as he can. A seller wants to sell as much as he can - for as much as he can. The check and balance upon these billions of daily commercial exchanges - is the buyer’s wallet. The buyer wants to conserve his coin - so he perpetually looks for the best deals. The seller wants to sell - so he and the buyer negotiate mutually agreeable deals. If the guy picking up the tab isn’t involved in the process - price is no object. And things quickly get REALLY crazy. Seven decades of third-party-payer health insurance later - things have become really, REALLY crazy. You want more government further screwing up health care?
