If a government or party promoting private or semi-private practice actually had a plan to address that first I would feel much more open to looking at private options as a solution. Otherwise we’re likely going to end up in a situation where our tax dollars are subsidizing a new healthcare system that isn’t saving us money or guaranteeing better outcomes.
Yup. If the semi-private/private solution requires insurance as the middleman then you are recreating US healthcare and shifting the money to a private player. Healthcare seems to have a lot of administrators versus actual providers. How do you start fixing that?
