"No country aside from Canada has a universal single payer. You have a wide range with countries like Switzerland lacking any sort of government payer and Germany with hundreds of different payers"

"@DanielRGerard Sorry you're just wrong here. You've read some econ but missed this point. Most healthcare is a private good. It is rivalrous and excludible. Primary care medications elective surgery physical therapy. these are all private goods by definition"

"Can we please stop repeating the myth that government provided healthcare has low overhead Medicare is the entire reason our healthcare system is so inefficient. Medicare gave us centrally planned physician and hospital reimbursement and all the inefficiencies that come with it. It offloads is overhead on doctors and hospitals with documentation and compliance requirements. It gave us site specific payments and numerous other subsidies that put a thumb on the scale of large hospital systems. It imposes onerous quality metric and data reporting mandates. It gave us stark law and a ban on"

"You're a neurosurgeon covering a small community hospital a few days a month. Every few months you get put on suspension and have to go through administrative song & dance to get privilges reinstated. The offense Not cosinging the occasional stray order or PA note. You ask them to just send a notification if there are outstanding things to click before putting you on suspension. The answer: "no you must log in weekly to check your inbox."

"The median American pays about $17k annually combined for health insurance Medicare and social security. Take that money and let individuals invest it in a fund earmarked for healthcare and retirement. Let them purchase whatever insurance coverage they want with those dollars and use them for out of pocket expenses. Conservative market returns gives the median American $2M-$4M (inflation adjusted) by retirement. Instead of government doling out a pittance for social severity Americans could control their own money. Instead of Medicare dictating what kind of care seniors can access Americans"

"Health insurance has become a prepaid healthcare plan. Mandating things like preventative care and contraception means its not insurance at all. You cant use an insurance model for things that are guaranteed expenditures. XX% of healthcare transactions should be outside the insurance or third party payment framework. The median healthcare spending for Americans is just around $XXX annually. Most Americans can afford that out of pocket. Its less than the median spending on coffee or streaming services or food delivery. Just provide cash equivalent for those who cant afford it"

"Its amazing how rational people are ready to endorse Medicare for all just because they did a few prior auths. We can work on decreasing the friction with prior auth but utilization control is necessary in third party payment for any elastic good like healthcare. Medicare meanwhile is the reason doctors cant own hospitals. It gave us large subsidy streams towards consolidated systems which are decimating independent private practice. It gave us all the documentation requirements that come with CPT. It gives us the massive misallocation of resources that comes with centrally set prices. It"

"Speaker Johnson is correct here. It gets a bit wonky though. Prior to HR1 hospitals would get reimbursed for emergency care for illegal immigrants through Medicaid. State medicaid programs have a portion of their spending reimbursed by the federal government. This is called the FMAP. For traditional Medicaid beneficiaries the FMAP varies by state between 50-80%. So a pregnant woman in CA has only XX% of her costs reimbursed by the federal government while CA covers the rest. For illegal immigrants using emergency services XX% is reimbursed by the federal government. So states with a lot of"

"Doctors need to be allowed to just build things. Compare that Huajian Grand Canyon Bridge in China everyone is fawning over to CA high speed rail. US healthcare is the CA high speed rail. Doctors aren't allowed to just build things. We are faced with headwinds from policy at the federal and state level. Insane Medicare conditions of participation stark law certificate of need law. all stopping us from building and owning the means of healthcare delivery.

"Shoveling subsidies at healthcare doesnt make it less expensive. It makes it more expensive by expanding the transaction costs and shifts the costs to taxpayers. The chart below doesnt even account for things like 340B and state Medicaid spending. We have to increase competition so we can actually drive down the underlying cost drivers of healthcare. Hospital consolidation is the biggest driver of this and needs to be reversed. Reform 340B implement site neutrality allow POH and eliminate CON"
