   The quickest way to lower costs would be to eliminate all prescription requirements, everything otc, and make it so people can get labs without a doctor's order. The doctor is a tax on prescription medications and labs, and an unnecessary one for those with chronic conditions, i.e. those most likely to need medical care.
   
   But no one is serious about reform. You just want to keep the same fucked system in place, but have someone else pay for it.

     My friend who emigrated to Spain posted that he had to go to the Emergency Room today. Instead of it breaking his bank account, the visit only cost him €16.

     We are being ripped off in ways we don't even realize by the US health “care” non-system which is designed to maximize corporate profits by bankrupting patients.

     We need a new model and should adopt one of the universal health care models that get much better health care outcomes than ours. #universalhealthcare #medicareforall #USpol
