My proposed solution -- and response

Miscellaneous General

In a panel discussion where some experts discussed the systems of healthcare in place, I had a good question. What if we left healthcare to the market?

I argued that the current system was regulated, however, the panel experts insisted that it was only in specific areas, such as medicad and lawsuits. The physicians could do anything, and their success or failure would determine their pay. What?

Another said it would not work (an expert economist) because infomation is imperfect, so we need Government to save us from this sin.

I think this is what they said; I try to remember it clearly. However, it seems sad that some experts have just thrown out these things.

Too bad when I discussed this with mom, she attacked with strawman, that I don’t support stopping medical practicioners who are bad, since I oppose the AMA.

P.S.: The most unwise thing I heard from a discussion was that someone wanted to edit out greed from the human population.

Any constructive feedback? More will come soon.

You should’ve properly shunned this person for recommending eugenics (with a reference to the Nazi’s & previous nonsensical talk about eugenics in the US in the 1930’s), because “editing out” greed from the human population would be a feat even natural selection could not achieve.

I think it would’ve helped you get people on your side a little; I tend to find a crowd (or the participants, if this is a more intimate setting) begin to agree with you more & more overall if you can be proven right on at least a few small things, especially as the debate goes by.

I have to agree with Nitro. Why would you edit out rational self interest? How does this person propose people think? With no regard for their own welfare?

Too often, these softheaded folks confuse greed with fraud. Fraud is a crime. Looking out for #1 is essential for survival.
