Lol
That’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard
Of course they don’t raise prices
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?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emergency_Medical_Treatment_and_Active_Labor_Act
> 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]
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😘
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
> Our analysis of insurance claims data shows that the more rigid regulations increase the price of a well-child medical exam by 3 to 16 %

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.
If you repeal them, faculties abuse Medicaid
No, it’s an example on how regulation lowers prices
Technically my plan requires gutting medicaid.
You frontload the cost
There are no regulations that you speak off.
Yeah, I know
