We pretty much have a degree of universal healthcare now. You just have to quit
Your job and go on Obamacare to get it.

Lol. “I don’t want single payer, but if we have to do it, can we at least take away everyone’s individual liberty

Don't miss my point, here
Carnac

I’m actually in favor of single payer at this point.

And a certain percentage of our country

Unlikely to get knee replacement with BMI > 40 HbA1C > 7.8, tobacco or on

This would actually motivate me to get into great shape and stay that way.

Why BMI? Don't incentivize against heavy weight lifting. Use body fat % instead

Penalizing your type for steroid use.

At least you won't have to pay for us to have kids

He makes a good point. Don't take my liberty to not pay for your bad decisions

I'm ok with single payer health care as long as there are heavy fees/fines for

Problem is you’re already paying for it

I know. It would only get worse.
Carnac
1/8/19 11:45am
Kind of. The thing with single payer would be cost control is 100x more effectiv
cougfanz
1/8/19 11:53am
Exactly. Why are we trying to be the UK?
Carnac

We actually are getting closer than people realize to resource control

Quitting your job is not going to allow you to go on Obamacare.
CDV

Yes, Medicaid the first year and then Obamacare after
Little Britches

Nope. If you quit your job and have no income you will never ever ever be eligible for an Obamacare policy.

LOL! All these types of poor behaviors already exist in your insurance 🙂

I understand this.
Carnac

Exactly. The old saying "Few apples ruin the bunch".
Iki_Balam
1/8/19 2:52pm
That's the point behind universal healthcare
Iki_Balam
1/8/19 3:06pm
THat's it! Iki has it right - you're already paying for it in different ways,

Imagine that’s your employer subsidizing that not the insurance company though
cougfanz

Not for tobacco
shuaige
1/8/19 3:50pm
If by "pay", do you mean not receive as many benefits?
Iki_Balam
1/8/19 7:43pm
No, I mean pay
shuaige
1/8/19 10:03pm
I'd love to see this plan. Especially how to prove someone is a user
Iki_Balam

Some of those behaviors like smoking save the system money

It’s not the nejm but this Forbes article hits on these points

thanks for sharing, didn't realize that

Key is a two tier system like Germany. VA for everyone with basic care and no
cougfanz

I'd be down.
Slim

That’s how I think it should work. Crappy cheap everything with minimum service

From what I've heard, the German system is pretty good and actually much closer

Do you think that will make the health care industry businesses want less money?
