Ah, but the snake oil industry is a monopoly, and therefore very expensive.

Re: Affordable Care Act - catastrophic plans cancelled

You're going on the assumption that there is one pill for one condition.

In reality there are usually multiple treatments for one condition, and chances are that at least one of those is generic,...

Re: Affordable Care Act - catastrophic plans cancelled

Who sets the price of a hotel room? The hotel owner. Who pays the price? The people that choose to stay there. Drug prices are the same. How is that not free market?

Re: Affordable Care Act - catastrophic plans cancelled

Ok, how about:

There are many complex and intertwined reasons why the US healthcare system has arrived at it's current state. Correcting this will, therefor, require more than a single approach.

Not entirely sure what you're trying to say.

The majority of people without insurance HAVE decided to go it alone. It's the 'rich' people who have someone else buying their meds that are setting...

Re: Affordable Care Act - catastrophic plans cancelled

Yes. And the U.S. health care system is extraordinarily screwed up, but it is this way, in part, because Americans have given control of their health over to someone else.

Re: Affordable Care Act - catastrophic plans cancelled

It has been my experience that the majority of prescription drugs are, in reality, optional.

Proper health for a lifetime virtually eliminates the need for most drugs.

Rarely do you need drugs...

Re: Affordable Care Act - catastrophic plans cancelled

There are actually two price structures for prescription drugs depending on the patent status.

If a drug is patented, you pay what the manufacturer thinks you should pay, otherwise it's pretty...

To some extent. You have control over what you eat, what you smoke and how much you walk. You can meditate, chant or do whatever else you think may help keep stress levels under control.

Sorry Jimbo. :(

It''s embarrassing that the internet has the ability to show the world how poorly educated (and egocentric) the citizens of the USA are. I'm glad you have a sense of humor about...

Of course you have the choice. You can take the hypertension drugs, or control your exercise and diet. Take the prilosec or watch what you eat. Stay home and get over the virus or go to the doc...

Ah, I see what you're saying.

We need to go back to the discriminatory policies that charged women more for their healthcare.

Re: Affordable Care Act - catastrophic plans cancelled
