This has been proven to save huge sums of money by eliminating reams of paperwork, and since no profit is taken out of health care for dividends to shareholders and enormous salaries for CEO's. The benefits would be portable. If you are from Wisconsin and get sick in California, you would be covered. And it wouldn't matter where you were employed, because this program would include everyone. Because we expect to be very busy and to have more communication with our members, we now have an office at 1202 Williamson Street, in the Social Justice Building.
Competition seems so foreign to health care.
In commercial life, the law of the land is caveat emptor, let the buyer beware. In health care, the law of the land is confidat emptor, let the buyer trust. Patients go to doctors because when they are hurting, scared or anxious they want an expert they can trust to put their interests first. Markets here are a paradigm misfit. No other nation with an advanced health care system has embraced competition, and no other nation has turned its services over to investors seeking profits.
