The government will punish citizens by making it compulsory to buy health insurance paying thousands$$ or less per month. Most people don’t need to spend so much on doctor bills and medicine so all that premium money goes to help pay doctor bills for everybody —and for those that sneak across the border. The way it works out is that those with extraxtable money pay for those from whom money cannot be extracted or squeezed. And that’s that.
The other solution is for the government to socialize medicine. Then you have to wait on line for more than a year to see a free doctor because everyone wants to go. Doctors will get a salary and by the same token no frills standard treatment. Everybody is waiting on line and suffer while you wait.
If the government gets involved, they are supervising and governing everything and heath providers don’t like it and harder for the patient too.
If government doesn’t get involved then the greedy health care providers will squeeze first the patient and then the government for as much payment they can —getting fatter but the health care better in quality because more money to fund it and more incentive and interest to do a good job.
Government can also regulate prices of meds and healthcare depending on income or a flat cheap rate for everyone but doctors and other businesses need to make money and pay bills so bad healthcare quality. More people will die or get sicker.
Or leave things the way they are. But ultimately someone is paying the bill: those that have money than can be extracted.
I don’t think there is a solution to please everybody.
