Or, as Surber puts it:
Government-run health care is about saving money, not lives.
Think back and think it through. What government is promising is insurance for all (more cost) and lower cost insurance plans
Those seem to conflict, but in reality, they can be accomplished even though you’re very likely not to like the result.
How? Severe rationing and imposed cost controls.
If it can order individuals to buy insurance on pain of fine, what is to stop it from ordering doctors and other health care providers to take anyone with insurance, regardless of the reimbursement rates?
Well, don’t forget, almost every practice out there is a small business. And if they make over $250,000 (and the vast majority do) they’re going to first and foremost be taxed at a higher rate. You know, because they’re “rich”.
how long will the better doctors put up with this
I’m guessing this will be the first sector in the economy where Atlas will do some shrugging.
