[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't want to get rid of healthcare middle men. I want to make it illegal for hospitals, imaging centers, labs, rehab centers, dialysis, etc. as well as insurance and pharma companies to be for profit. R&D should be federally funded and not used as an excuse for companies to charge exorbitant prices for pills that cost 50 cents to make.

They should be legally prohibited by law from making a profit and executive pay should be capped.

Boom. Problem solved right there. [/quote]

What frustrates me most is the lack of transparency and cost discrepancies. Persons A, B and C could get the same procedure at an in network facility, but pay entirely different prices not correlating at all to how much they pay in premiums. I know there are "contracted rates" but these could even be higher than for self pay which is ridiculous. And people are usually limited to a few plans even through work, and within these plans at the mercy of network changes. It is too complicated to navigate and fundamentally entirely unfair. Costs should be uniformized.[/quote]
