"There is a better solution."
In 1974 the US had the best health care system in the world. Then Congress mandated employers provide health insurance to their employees, and ever since then health care has become more expensive and worse in quality in the US. Back then you could see a doctor who could agree to trade his services for a couple chickens, or a pig, or for nothing at all. Today the insurance companies that pay the vast majority of doctors' salaries won't tolerate such nonsense for a minute.
The way to solve the health care crisis is to stop 'improving' it, and restore the free market that put cash, chickens, and employer subsidies all in competition, enabling doctors to be dedicated to the good health of their communities rather than the financial health of insurance companies.
Thanks!
