Quote: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, 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...
