Been saying this for years. People conflate health insurance costs with


health care costs. Insurance is expensive because health care is expensive. If you can force real competition among providers then costs will come down. Give people a way and an incentive to shop around. The key to my idea is for the government to set a reasonable and customary rate and prohibit insurance from paying more than that. If somebody REALLY wants that 100,000 knee they can pay for it. If somebody finds it for less than the reasonable and customary then they get a percentage of the savings. Want to see prices come down?
