@at Riseagainstocks:
Your proposal for pure private health care is inane. People rarely think they need healthcare, but when they do use it they are extremely lucky they have it, because as urban said a heart operation costs about as much as a mortgage.
I can personally attest to this, until last year I really didn't need health insurance, the only medicine I was on was adderol.
Due to a very unfortunate situation I now I take 14.5 pills a day (~20 dollars worth of pills every single night) and see a doctor ever two weeks (~400 dollars a visit). Not to mention all the other doctors i've had to go to because all the medicine has wrecked havoc on my body.
Without health insurance I would be ****ed, because the system works that once you have been diagnosed with an problem insurance doesn't have to cover it if you don't have insurance already.
So basically i'm saying your idea is completely impractical.
