We do not have a shortage of medical practitioners. We do not have a shortage of manufacturing for medical supplies. Capping costs on the practitioner’s end (assuming that the practitioner is allowed to still make a profit that will allow him to pay off his or her medical school loans and live a decent life) is much less the issue than cutting out the insurance middle man.

It is a parasitic industry that produces nothing and only profits of of the suffering of others while siphoning money out of the health care system.

Those who were all about “free market” insurance were really arguing for the rights of parasites to take money from sick people and medical doctors.

It consistently amazes me that people who would decry the cost of universal coverage don’t blink at the existence of a massive insurance “industry” that literally produces NOTHING of value. It just drives up costs for no gain for anyone but themselves.

Leeches. Fucking leeches.
