The Purple Health Care Plan

Here's where I see vouchers being the better choice on the cost side.

Universal single coverage is a one size fits all plan. The program sets coverage policies (what's covered, how much) and applies to all.

We already saw coverage creep in ObamaCare raising the "essentials" to include Viagra, fertility treatment, etc.

In effect, the one-size fits all has to have a high level of coverage to meet all the diversity of needs.

With vouchers and private insurance, people can choose the coverage that fits them and overall we don't have the same total coverage. You could even build in an incentive via HSAs or rebates to reward people for just choosing programs that fit what they want covered.
For example, the whole minimal actuarial of ObamaCare being set at 60% I believe will raise costs because prior too that people had coverage that was less BUT THEY WERE SATISFIED. This is why we've seen the 1000+ waivers.

I just don't see how this works. It sounds absolute bizarre to "design" what health coverage you want. That's the whole point - you want to use a health system as little as possible.

I know there were only 10,000 new cases or so, but what happens to all the thirtysomethings not worried about testicular cancer, but get it? To say nothing of the rest?

Suddenly, every thirtysomething that can buys testicular cancer insurance because who would be caught without it?

Which = inefficiency. Which is another great explanation why health care is not a market.

Because you're always quick to declare who is right and wrong, or award yourself points. Taking an antithetical view to somebody else is fine, but doing it in the manner which you frequently employ isn't going to challenge anybody's belief. It will rile them up. It's pointless.

We might want to assign responsibility where it belongs which would be those desperate to score points (after so many woodsheds).

There's this again. What points? If you say you don't know, how do you determine that they've been taken to the woodshed?

Why would I need points for that?

(Admittedly, the allusion is to college football where the team with the most points win. Did this cause confusion? BTW, you are getting boring now, and derailing the thread.)

So you don't know anything about the points you keep referencing?

And so how do you then determine who has been brought to the wood shed?

I said I don't know why you and realUT want to score points on me (I assume because you have misstepped so badly of late, and y'all are smart guys).

But, this absolutely boring chicanery is a pretty good example of why I don't need points to know who has been taken behind the woodshed. It's more like a Pass / Fail anyway. :hi:

Continuing with this chicanery: 1

Not helping realUT with word history: 2

I don't know if you are just hoping to get my post count up with completely ludicrous non-sequitir. I usually like non-sequitir, but you just don't have the Steven Wright deadpan down.

I work at the mill according to fl0at, but I think he was trying to be derogatory.

There are many men and women that happily state their profession, as mill workers, without disregard for what "others" may think.

I am sorry that you think you will be ridiculed for your profession, but I'm sure everyone will agree that your career field is respectable, even if you do not.

he's claimed to be a rentier, which means he's either a slumlord or he's living off of patent revenues. My guess is that his invention is a machine that spews out random BS.
