What about doing away with auto insurance and home insurance, and make shops and contractors charge their customers directly for repairs?

Look at the cycle I described. When the other insurances create the same circle, then do away with them.

The free market?? Oh Yes...the market where competition will "drive costs down" right? Yeah, that's the market which has priced tens of millions out of any chance for healthcare coverage. Boy...I'd sure glad we have these insurance companies and HMO's to look out for us!!🙄🙄🙄

The freemarket is not to blame. It is the insurance companies that is the problem. Get those crooks out of the medical system altogether and medical costs will drop.

Bill, the insurance industry and health care industry is about a million miles from being free market, the guvamint broke the free market with regulation and their solution for fixing it is...no surprises...more regulation.

Johnny- You are 100% correct! Please forgive the American lemmings. They were taught at a young age to worship the almighty Corporations above Jesus Christ. 😞

That's because the almighty corporations are worth more than Jesus Christ.

I'd figure the Europeans would be especially receptive to that argument.

Not quite true. After WWII, insurance was fine. It insured risks, not know occurrences. Look up uninsurable, and you'll find that most of health care "insurance" isn't really.
