buuut
I do have a moral delimma of people making money over someone elses misery
same as private prisons
Well, if it is not stated-funded, then people can take it to the courts.
you can take the state to the courts too usually
all the healthcare youd ever want can be provided in the market economy. no good reason to risk monopolizing the industry in a wreckless policy that ppl dont even know how to implement due the inherent flaws of central planning
jsut like you can file a lawsuit against a police department, etc
yeah I'm definetly NOT against a market economy for healthcare
but I don't think how it currently is
the unethical part imo is that insurance companies pay a much lower rate than ppl who don't have insurance
mismanagement is GUARANTEED to take place in centraly planned economies (socialism/fascism/techocracy)
dunno how the chargemaster is still a thing
i do believe there are enough people willing to help fund strangers healthcare without needing the state. the issue becomes connecting people with the need with people willing to help
I watched my working class parents get decimated financially when my dad got cancer and basically got to the point where he needed a loan to continue treatments
I don't think any one should have to go through that
but I do not know what the answer is
yeah for sure, how the healthcare industry currently is .... very bad! due to statism primarily
but that IS the reality of our current system
yeah, and it already takes place... so if ppl are taxed less, the charitable ppl (mostly poor & middle class conservatives.... btw), they have more to give
One thing that I like is paying doctors and physicians directly in cash or other monetary compensation for services rendered.
not to mention all the "friendly societies" that pre-existed statist meddling into healthcare services
that just gets around the insurance system and yeah that does have some affect
but it doesn't help those that don't have any way to pay
and i'm not talking emergency services, those are already guaranteed, etc, I'm talking chronic illnesses like cancer
there is always a way ... and there will always be more potential charitable capital to make the difference
shits expensive regardless of insurance, not something most normal people can just pay cash for
What about have a corporation, company, organization, or private investor "sponsor" your cancer for a treatment. All experimental drugs. No FDA interference.
there could perhaps be utility in the state connecting people willing to help and people in need. But giving the state money is the last thing you want to do. Its like taking all the healthcare companies, and make them just one giant entity, Then taking the greedy hospital boards and adding them in too. Its just more money for politicians to raid to pay their debts on bad deals.
yeah, giving the state money is not a good idea either
I'm also not totally opposed to a single payer system
or Kickstarter 😄
buuut I just don't know how it would work
like pensions for my recent state reps who all retired at like 50, while like no one in the work force can retire before like 60 or 70, realistically, and very few if any have pensions.
kickstarter and gofundme, etc days are numbered
when people stop realizing the value from donations
I don't tsee that as a long term solution
why public officials even HAD the option of pensions for being in office way too fucking long is beyond me.
A Blockchain-funded DAO that funds your Healthcare plan, according to how much you can "mine" in what you can do for your diseases' research?
