If we can stop the root causes of why health care is so expensive, that is better than having high health insurance costs. In my world we would reduce health care costs while keeping quality very high, and reduce insurance costs and thus reduce subsidies for that reason. There is greed that rigs the game that makes high quality health care more expensive than necessary, we should solve for that problem.

@SpiritualMan Healthcare started getting expensive in the mid 70s. This coincides with the HMO Act of 1973. It seems that every time the government gets involved in controlling cost or production on any service, it seems to get more expensive for the consumer.

@Roadsterrider I think some of Nicolai Tesla's tech that he discovered could heal people will be rolled out. That will likely be much cheaper than drugs from Big Pharma. Some people may try to pull strings to keep this tech from coming out, we shouldn't let them win. What if some of this tech drastically reduced the amount of times people need drugs for at all? Or at least made the duration more limited? I would rather find effective ways to do things that are cheaper in the end rather than doing things the most expensive ways possible and then using government spending to cover the difference.
I did a deep dive into some of Tesla's more exotic tech, and he did say that some of it COULD be abused and weaponized if misused, but I think he mentioned designing in safeguards into devices to make that almost impossible. I think we should encourage and work at roll outs and new research with this tech, and those that might decide that violence is a good idea to prevent it, then they should be dealt with. No more inventors should commit suicide by shooting themselves in the back of the head twice with 2 bullets from a gun several feet away.

@SpiritualMan The love of money is the root of all evil. There have been so many stories about inventions that would have changed the world that disappeared when the inventor met a suspicious end. Max Gerson cure for cancer, the Fish carburetor, Tesla's energy devices. I remember reading about an engine that ran cross country on water, then everybody involved disappeared. I don't believe there could be so many stories, especially involved with oil and pharma, arguably the two most powerful industries in the world, without there being some truth to those stories. Unless we find the real warehouse 13, we will never see any of these things.
