In the UK they have “managed care”. This means that if the government decides you are too old, you don’t get the care. Are you sure this is what you want?

A single fraud case in Medicare a while back cost the government as much as all the private insurance premiums paid for that year. So sure, they can manage it, right?

Each procedure you get has a code, either an ICD or DRG9. How much does it cost? Exactly what the health insurance company will pay. This, in theory, would drive costs to the minimum. But it doesn’t work, because both the health insurance companies and the providers are in cahoots, plus they bribe, er, contribute to the politicians to write the rules in their favor. Then, along came the ACA, which was the biggest bribe paid to the insurance companies by the politicians probably in the history of mankind. Don’t believe it? After the ACA insurance profits skyrocketed.

You’re being sold a bill of goods.... That’s how the system works...
