The risk is predicated on the cost of the underlying service. What do I mean by that. A person needs stitches. The Er would charge 2k under traditional healthcare. Direct compensation practices allow the doctor to squeeze u in between patients at no additional cost. That's a more efficient way of delivering the service thus lowering the risk passed on in the form of premiums to consumers.
In the instance of cost what I'm saying is you have to look at the total picture. This year a #1 combo costs 1.00 next year a #1 costs 1.04. 4% inflation right?
You forgot to mention last year a #1 was a double cheeseburger this year its a single. So in reality what looks like 4% is actually a lot greater inflation.

Lol, oh well of course I wasn't gonna get that... I did see the trailer, that movie looks like an abomination
Also if the primary practitioner doesn't have to factor in the cost of compliance and opportunity cost of 6 month reimbursements instead vs. Immediate payment the cost to deliver the service is a lot less and thus the cost risk passed on to the consumer in the form of membership fees or dues is decreased.

Yeah... I thought that the first hundred times... Then you see the packs and the car and the symbol... Its like your brother bringing home your niece. You won't relate the same as you would to a nephew. More ponies than helmets.... But its family.

Lol, so here I am, getting sucked into debating the merits of Obama care--- not!!
I told you, I won't do it. I refuse to defend it. It has many faults, I said that pages ago.
But there are many obvious benefits as well.
With that said, what doctor is gonna get up, put on his stethoscope and head to the office at night, in the evening, or on the weekends for these stitches out sprains, or uti infections?
Your solution is nice for a small niche, like I said. It's not designed to cover 300 million.
The only real option is being done in every modern society.... come on, you know you want to do it...
Quote:Now you're just not even making sense...
And actually, my links are exactly at issue. You don't like Obama care. I also do not think it's the best system. However, your solution is one that is only able to even become semi-beneficial BECAUSE of Obama care. Without it, as I've stated, the niche market that is concierge service, dries up completely.
I've proven this, and you have failed to rebutte my points. Instead, you're attacking me, or attacking the problems with Obama care---which I've already pointed out that I'm well aware of...
The problem is that you have come up with this solution that won't work without the mandates and large customer pools that Obma care has created. You've hung your hat on a plan that collapses the moment we get rid of a plan that Obama put into place.
That's a fact. Just accept it and move on... Or don't. Whatever. Either way, I've painted you into a corner and you can't get out. That's why your attacking me personally and trying to deflect the subject to something else.
The best model would be a strong individual market with competitive suppliers and customer choice in product scope. This can't happen until we divorce health insurance entirely from employment, but the big government people are pushing the other way. Thats what's wrong with the ACA.

One of my fondest memories as a kid was going to go see the first ghost busters with my mom and brother... now I can't get that song out of my head

Ding... Ding... Ding... Winner winner chicken dinner for you.
Liberals can't seem to grasp the concept of personal responsibility. It's not only health care, but also retirement. Far too many think that retirement and Health Insurance should be the responsibility of employers and/or the government.

Well, I agree that it shouldn't be a employment benefit...
