47 million Americans have no health insurance – a number which may continue to rise as employers seek ways to reduce costs to stay competitive. Guaranteed coverage does not, of course, mean guaranteed competence. The answer may lie in the right combination of benefits, inducements for private coverage, and appropriate opt-outs for those who do not trust a government system.

Most Astonishing Health Disaster of the 20th CenturyTom Biel, IL - Fri, 11/23/2007 - 1:16am
Conventional medicine has seized control of the US health care system and as a result we have over 800,000 people who are killed by interacting with this system. The United States operates on medical care not health care. It is likely that over 50 million Americans have died prematurely from the abuse inflicted by this system. |

If it is true that a physician sees $20 of a $150 office, this may be a significant part of our healthcare cost crisis. Pay at the time of service. Remove insurance and other non-value-add factors. Catastrophic (major medical) covers the high risk costs.
