re: #568 EmmmieG

See my last post. I don’t feel like re-typing it.

Again: The Russians don’t have anything to do with Sweden, or Japan, or Israel.

The problem with health care in the US, as it stands now, is that the end-consumers have no incentive to try to be frugal*

The end-consumers are people who seek health care. Those who lack insurance certainly do have an incentive to be frugal, as any health care they receive comes out of their own pocket. Anyone with a deductible likewise has an incentive to be frugal.

I have no idea what you mean by this statement. Do you mean those people who pay for insurance whose insurance masks the costs from them? Those people are the problem?
