Again, you just answer things tangential to the issue at hand

What regulation were you hinting at that lowers prices? I'll take a shot in the dark and point to the law that allows illegals to get away with uncompensated care?

> According to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, 55% of U.S. emergency care now goes uncompensated.[12] When medical bills go unpaid, health care providers must either shift the costs onto those who can pay or go uncompensated. In the first decade of EMTALA, such cost-shifting amounted to a hidden tax levied by providers.[13] For example, it has been estimated that this cost shifting amounted to $455 per individual or $1,186 per family in California each year.[13]

Gee maybe not...

The reason CON exists is because they spend state money

You’d think a conservative would be in favor of protecting coffers

It doesn't matter, we don't need them. They raise prices, lower access without increasing quality.

Lol

That’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard

Of course they don’t raise prices

THIS IS LITERALLY MY POINT

Yeah?

It's a regulation.

We need to repeal it.

Which is why I said I'm for private healthcare, fully.

It currently gets passed along to people with insurance

Yeah and hospital care in general.

It's a terrible law that has to go.

Right, so we’d just have a return to people with pre existing conditions not getting care

lol

Ok.

This isn't about pre-existing conditions.

Yes, if your goal is to have people dying in the streets and going bankrupt for medical expenses

Then yes, the system will be cheaper

I'm for deregulating healthcare, so that ends up with lower prices.

No, it doesnt😘

EMATAL being scraped is one method of it.

It leads to death spirals

The studies above will disagree with you.

They clearly do not

In fact you literally supported my point

Use your brain for 2 seconds

> This finding indicates that CON laws may not be protecting access to rural health care, but are instead correlated with decreases in rural access.

Ok, let me respond

WC visits are not a pertinent metric, because ya a non-emergency preventative care metric

Well child visits lower the cost of future healthcare. What more regulations do is lower the cost of emergency room visits

WC visits are cheap cheap cheap. 3-16 doesn’t matter.

CON laws

Yes, it's an example of how deregulation lowers prices.

CON laws prevent Medicaid abuse

Removing these barriers reduce prices universally.
