our system now is horribly inefficient, and costs are ridiculous for what you get. Health care is basically a luxury nowadays.


I never said otherwise!

And yes, there will always be shitty doctors, even in the current system, but we have ways of relaying that information, and reading up on techniques that people are using. it's not a complete crapshoot.


But I thought consumers didn't need to know anything but price? The way you're arguing about this seems more like you're trying to justify your conclusion -- which I thought was a discussion question? -- rather than actually trying to talk about it with me.

and i'm saying we SHOULDN'T do things the way we always do them, we should change them so that people aren't buying into a shit system that is built for profit of insurance companies. they don't have patient quality of life high in their priority lists. it's all about money for them. and we should put a stop to that.


okay, and I'm saying that proposing an increase in competition sounds nice without any context, but if you put it in context, it starts to sound a lot less attractive and you notice that it might not address these issues the way you want it to
