I absolutely had to include this not just because I feel it's a forthright no nonsense piece that demystifies insurance but because the root of today's problems with this specific insurance system in the article is based on comments made by Nixon from The Nixon Tapes.

Basically this insurance system worked efficiently until it became for-profit.
Simple.
I'm sure you can apply this to any health insurance. So now navigating the constant changes seems less stressful and confusing.
Why government funded insurance is implementing ACOs etc when private insurance has realized it's downfalls and is pulling away from it makes no sense. It probably does but it's beyond the scope of this article.
Just thinking about Nixon at the meeting in the transcript (using the Futurama version of his voice of course) makes this adulting BS a hell of a lot easier.
(Before anyone starts gushing over the superiority of socialized medicine I neglected to post a news story about a Canadian disabled veteran who opted into euthanasia because the care he received at an emergency room visit was so poor it resulted in making his disability physically unbearable.
I suspect this is why it's not so easy to get easy access to ending ones life in the United States. Probably because those who understand the risks where the healthcare system stops provide jg cafe and encourages ending of life. I'm not an advocate of healthcare trying to save every single life as it's not Natures way and some examples of medical intervention especially recent years have been ridiculous. Saving a baby in Britain born with half it's brain physically missing? Selfish guilt ridden parents keeping brain dead children alive on life support because they caused the condition by not watching their kid in the bathtub? My grandfather had three open heart surgeries a few decades ago and he died anyway because he didnt take care of his health. It was like watching someone he tortured. Why? After he dies my grandmother is grief stricken and comments that she didn't expect him to leave her this way by dying? Wtf? Seriously?
These people are not living in reality. Neither are people who believe that humans are going to do good and get the best outcomes in some utopia that doesn't exist. Oversight is definitely necessary but thinking that people are going to do the right thing because it's just and good is bullshit.
If people really wanted truly to be healthy there wouldn't be the destruction of herbalism and holistic medicine.
the psy op in the 90s known as the New Age Movement which there are testimonies from people involved that claim it was to divert the public away from genuine efforts to fuse nature, human history, science and modern medicine. Integrative medicine was the best that was available in my state and it's not around anymore.
The game playing and clever methods of neglect Ive seen in the past ten years is horrible.
Everyone should be aware of the conspiracy theory that there's a depopulation agenda because if you use that theory as frame work then the purposeful negligence especially of the elderly I've seen makes a lot more sense.
Everything is incentive driven with humans, even doing things properly or justly.
Let it be noted that doctors are victims in thjs also as beginning with HMOs in the 90s putting more pressure on them they would complain privately that they couldn't practice as they wanted to because HMOs were forcing them into certain things or conditions.
You always want to reach The Doctor. The nurses (unionized anything use caution especially applying targeted individual theory), the secretaries (now given corporate titles but they are still front desk people who in the past could be perceived as 'gatekeepers'. Some old school doctors secretaries I've compared to the three headed dog Serberus who guards the gates of Hell. Nowadays they seem to be a lot more diverse and not some possessive female guard dogging a male doctor, however since COVID where they were granted undue control over the public, they've become a lot more controlling as the first contact with health care professionals -they just do it in a PC, nicey nicey way so it isnt detected probably because calls are recorded for quality control ans generally we live in a disingenuous culture of bullshit now where people are cutthroat or uncaring and only understand mob mentality or us vs them but perpetuate denial by sugar coating everything) and anyone else involved is simply diversion on your way through Oz to meet The Wizard. It's kind of like dealing with middle management when you know damn well you'd get a fast good result from the head of the company.
I think Communism might work in very small countries if it works at all or citizen run collectives etc. I don't know what a perfect system would be to run large countries because we've seen the pitfalls of Russia, China, India, the United States and small but powerful countries like Britain.
So don't immediately think "Socialized medicine" after reading this post. Awareness and knowledge are defenses. I don't know about a perfect well running system. Are humans allowed to create that anymore or is it considered some form of offensiveness or terrorism to actually create something that works effectively for all the right reasons?
