Obamasurance

[Martin Hash]

Healthcare in America is incongruently expensive because it is a natural monopoly, which means people have no choice in what they pay. When they have choice, like with elective surgeries (Lasix, breast augmentation), prices are relatively cheap due to Market Pressures, but most of healthcare is not amenable to Market Pressure, (critical care, inconvenience, huge knowledge gap). There is so much money in healthcare that it is a virtual trust, impossible to break. Here’s what’s going to happen in the next decade: Middle-Class people who have to pay the full rate will “opt out” and pay the penalty. They won’t have any healthcare, while Rich & Poor people will get the best healthcare available in the world. A lot of Middle Class will be on company plans, but those will become increasingly expensive as more-and-more of the Small Business Owner Middle Class opt out, and healthcare & insurance will also become increasingly expensive because, after all, those business's goal is to make money, and a monopoly not used is a monopoly wasted. Eventually, the Trust will be broken by an outraged Middle Class or Obamacare will be repealed, leaving costs ratcheted up, and no universal healthcare. In fact, way less people will have healthcare than did before the whole thing started.
