The first thing that needs to happen is honest discussions about healthcare, it's cost, advanced treatments, profit, etc. None of that has happen. Take risk pools, regardless if you are in a risk pool or not the cost of your healthcare will be the same. The difference is the AHCA as written will limit teartment by default therefore reduce costs. That is an option but it should be honestly discussed. Can the government subsidize "basic health care" and require advanced procedures be available only to those with means? Our healthcare systems are the best in the world because of the free market but those same forces have made it affordable to very few who pay for it themselves and to those who's care is paid for by someone's tax dollars. Health insurance costs were one of the nails in US manufacturing's coffin. Our elected politicians have become very comfortable standing in front of a microphone and repeating boldface lies. The sad part is 50% of us back them up when they do. No better example than this forum.
