I got a bridge for sale, you looking ??
It's not going to fucking work. It might work "better" in many respects, but there are cases like this where these fucking criminal bastards will exploit any loophole that still exists. Assuming this story is even actually true, and considering it's a Breitfart article, that itself is a huge assumption.
Yeah, maybe the BCE and the Koch brothers made it up...
The ONLY solution is a single payer, non-profit government administered health insurance system where everybody from the KKKoch Brothers to the homeless guy on the street is treated exactly the same. Everybody is in the pool, nobody is out. And everything is covered. No loopholes. No excuses. No "death panels", real or imaginary (and despite the Moosealini Palin narrative, the real "death panels" were always the corporate insurance bastards)
Keep dreaming...
And everyone doesn't want to be in "the pool."
Want an exception to healthcare that shouldn't be covered? OK..... elective plastic surgery would fit there. Botox. Facelifts. Boob jobs.... things like that probably should NOT be covered under a single payer system, as they are not necessary medical care. If the for profit insurance industry wants to stay in the game, they can sell suplemental policies to deal with that stuff.
Does that include abortion ??
As for prescription drugs, repeal Chimpy's "Medicare Part D" giveaway to big pharma, and let the newly empowered National Healthcare System/Expanded Medicare For All/whatever name it will be called negotiate the prices with the drug companies, like they do in Canada.
