But the answer in this case is pretty easy since there's only a few big buckets. Healthcare costs are exponentially rising because: (A.) People's health is exponentially deteriorating, or (B.) Healthcare bill size or volume or both are rising. The correct answer is B. Thus there's 2 broad ways to solve that problem: a.) Lower the size and/or volume of the bills, or b.) Make someone else pay them. The correct answer is (a.) Now. What's "the public option"? It's (b.) which is the incorrect answer. Ok, so if (a.) is the right answer, what have we ever done in the past that lowers costs and improves quality? We've created well regulated markets. Worked like a charm every time and the best example is the airlines. You lower costs and grow efficacy and quality and you solve the funding problem. Here's a system example: you get your oil changed. Did your car insurance pay for it? No, you did. You get a physical. Did your health insurance pay for it? Yes. Why the difference? Because we have a broken system that's not aligned to the consumer. Align to the consumer and you fix all problems. Align to the government and healthcare becomes the new financial services industry. And that's going swell right? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
