Changing who pays for health care

is precisely what is needed to cut costs. The only problem is, who pays
for health care needs to be you, and not someone else. As long as we
simply shift who the "someone else" is, the problem will never get fixed.

You want to cut a huge cost in health care right now? Eliminate the
hassles with insurance billing. Make medical insurance like all other
kinds of insurance. Something you buy against the unexpected. Right
now, it's something you buy against the inevitable. Modern health
insurance is like having insurance for groceries. Pays $500 a month, and
you can visit the grocery store twice a week and take home 100 pounds
of food for a $20 co-pay. It's asinine.
