A Radical Solution for Healthcare: Kill the Hybrid

You can't pretend to even begin to have a free market in healthcare as long as the AMA, et.al. are constraining the supply of healthcare professionals. So, until you DO have things in place to have an actual free market, the only intelligent thing to do is to treat the entire US population as one big group so we can at least get a decent group rate; in other words, de facto single payer. Just because something CAN be quasi-privatized does not mean that it SHOULD be quasi-privatized. They only care about things getting "socialist" when it is their ox that is getting gored: when the Feds are handing out trillions to the rich people that own banks, they call it "unavoidable". I call it "socialist welfare b.s.". See my recent SA comments for a plan that will fix everything.
