Reply to comment by sardaukarma in Questions 5 and 6 seem like a no brainer to me. Anyone want to try and change my mind? by MarcoVinicius

Who will manage this, who gets to tell people what is not covered, how will the medical industry react and charge people. Will costs go up exponentially as they already have with insurance?

I hate the current insurance system. I have lots of ailments that require constant treatments and surgeries. But under no circumstances would I ever want the govt to gain more control of this system.

Healthcare as is, is abysmal. The only to make it worse is to further involve the govt - either party

What would your idea be to make it better then? I'm open to hearing about other ideas.

Eliminate PBMs. Mandatory cost listed at every medical facility. Allow insurance bidding across state lines. Allow import of generic drugs. Those are just a few that could get things trending in the right direction. I’m definitely not an expert on how the provider side works, I just know as a patient it’s awful.
