Reply #6: I disagree with your premise but . . . [View All]

all of the burden will always be on businesses and individuals, because those are the taxpayers. The question is who is going to hold the pool.

Now as to my disagreement with your premise, if we work together (completely unified), and have a pool provider who will pay doctors bonuses based on reduction of risk factors -- that is, focus on prevention rather than treatment -- and have a system that encourages early intervention . . . we can damn well reduce that $5800/year to something like half that number.
