Topic	Controversial Take: Healthcare should have a cost to it, and not be free.

It's sweet, but why on God's green earth have we allowed it to get to that point? For sure. It's like here at the pharmacy. We offer free delivery to anyone who signs up for our free sync program, and our cash prices are comparable to GoodRx and the chains' proprietary pricing tools. But we can't just give away drugs for free. The costs are built into the system. A pharmacy does that and they'll go under in about 20 minutes. If the $1000+ loss per brand name drug wouldn't sink them, losing every single insurance company contract would. --- https://card.psnprofiles.com/1/NIR_Hockey.png she/her <cite>hockeybabe89 posted [p:979626762] in Controvers...
