Routine medicine should have nothing to do with insurance, and should all be paid for out of pocket to force competition. This is all stuff everyone is going to do anyway, there is zero point in adding a middleman to this, it just makes everything more expensive.
Insurance should be catastrophic coverage only, which would dramatically lower the costs.
The US needs to stop being forced to subsidize healthcare of other countries. Having us pay more for the same drugs in insane. US paying for the defense of all our allies, is insane. They either need to defend themselves, or pay for our defense of them.
The insane levels of fraud we see with medicare/medicade should not be possible. This needs reform, oversight, and accountability.
It needs to be illegal for big pharma to bribe doctors. Paying them off to get them to push their products on patients is evil.
No more revolving door for big pharma and those who regulate big pharma
Big pharma should not be funding their regulators
Scientific studies need to be performed by impartial 3rd parties, and should be required to publish, not just publish if the company liked the result they got.
People start taking care of their own health, with proper diet and exercise. Anyone obviously ignoring this (BMI score) pays a premium for catastrophic insurance. Responsible people shouldn't pay more because of irresponsible people. A huge percentage of health problems are totally preventable.
Look hard at holistic/natural/noninvasive remedies.
Anyone making false claims about medical science needs to go to prison for fraud.
I think this would be a good start:
Great comment.
