Yeah, can’t think of a single good reason to keep that one around. I’m not really sure that would be sufficient to stop the cartel effect, given that insurance companies already have associations that cross state lines, such as Blue Cross/Blue Shield.
My office is in a hospital, so I get plenty of exposure to insurance absurdity. Even you’d probably be shocked at how Byzantine that world is.
Doeant it get worse with the mandates that the comoa ies that insure hospitals from lawsuits, make the effect worse?
I remeber watching a video where private hospital owners where discussing why they didnt deal with medicare or insurance comoanies. Theres a whole set of red tape that involves what could be unnecessary testing in the form of mri, blood work etc, to diagnose so.ething simple. This arrificially increases the price of healthcare

So republicans agree to a spending deal
Doing the work of the dems.
That shutdown was a great look for the dems and now repubs agree to every overbloated budget
Good for me
But yeah thanks repubs. Funding government and giving 9/11 first responders what they should have
The various malpractice insurances contribute to healthcare costs, but it’s a different bucket of worms. Ultimately you want your healthcare providers to have that insurance, because if they fuck up badly enough that you need to sue them over it, you want to know that someone is going to be able to pay up when you win. Torte reform that caps lawsuit awards to reasonable amounts is the only good approach I’ve seen to mitigating that particular problem.
This is also a problem, but as much as it’s a cover-your-ass from malpractice suits problem, it’s also that some docs will order redundant tests just to run up the bill. Like a shifty auto mechanic.

Problem is how frivolous some of these malpractice claims are. What passes as a cause in court may or may not have any medical or scientific basis.

Sure, but that’s a problem of the courts, and not one that only affects the healthcare industry.
At least awards in frivolous suits are also capped by torte reform. What else can you do that doesn’t royally screw legitimate victims?
I don’t know what they expect to get out of the hearing outside of hearing a summarized version of a well redacted document. I guess it’ll be helpful since Congress didn’t read the report.

lol Matt Gaetz went full emotionally charged gish gallop
What a piece of shit
Actual low IQ
And you willingly and purposely listen to MSM trash. And will continue even after this blatant smear attack.
Is anyone’s news network worth watching nowadays?
I typically listen to NPR for news personally.
The Onion is pretty good.

Floridaman going hard with emotions
Nope
NPR has gone full SJW progressive
CNN is absolute trash
MSNBC oeddles consoiracy theories worse rhan alex jones could dream to
FOX news is still the same pro zionist shit
BBC is government sponsored propaganda
Really what you should do is focus in compiling facts, filter the trash and propganda, aggregate what is being said, and synthesize something useful out of it, rather than repeat the talking points that are ever ao subtly integrated into the “news” that networks feed you. We all went to college, we dont need “pundits and experts” telling us what is and isnt right.

These congress hearings are so useless.
Republicans just attack your character.
Democrats just repeat the report and ask for confirmation.
Yawn.
