If we'd do universal health care, we'd need to incentivize the people in charge to stay within their budget. Tie part of their pay to the performance so good results are rewarded and bad ones are punished.

We'd also need to look into lowering the actual cost of healthcareFLUFFYGERM posted...


We definitely need more data, more transparency in pricing and provider ratings, and more competition. More innovation and automation. More healthy choices being made by people before we become obese alcoholic fat lazy fucks. Etc.

Stuff like that could be good.

Morbidly obese fucks and smokers represent something like 30% of our yearly healthcare expenditures. Obesity itself is like 22% last I checked.

If this is an issue, coming up with a way to get those people to pay more would be a potentially good idea. With current insurances, such things happen. Smoking would be relatively simple, could have a nationwide tax on tobacco products that goes towards funding healthcare. Obesity would be harder to come up with a solution.
