Impeding changes to our Health Care system

[Clodfobble]

Unless, of course, it turns out next year that Ibram has lupus. Shitty lottery to win, but you can be sure after that that he will spend virtually anything on a good policy, because it will still be cheaper than his medical costs would be. Good thing he has that option now.

And he will be a walking, talking recommendation to his friends for buying good health coverage, not the cheapest they can get away with. He will say, "Hey, friend with a wife and baby. You see this shitty thing that happened to me out of nowhere? If it happens to you, your wife and baby will be living in a box on the street." And his friend might be smart enough to learn the lesson, and it might change his understanding of what he can and can't afford.

Remember Ibram used to live in Taiwan.

In Taiwan they have universal health coverage - all in one system so none of this "pre-existing condition" nonsense.

It is government run, thus eliminating the drive for profit.

Governments are inefficient, right? Not this time. The administration costs have been whittled down to ONE PERCENT of the total bill. For comparison, in the USA, admin is 28% of the helath care budget.

That's before we get to the malpractise insurance costs and the highly unlikely tests that docs have to do to cover themsleves.
