The below ignores new sources of supply like nurse practicioners; many have begun to offer services at places like walgreens. Cost transparency is a good thing doctors.
If Obama mandates health insurance across America, healthcare costs will increase more than they already are.
It’s as simple as that. It’s a handout to the insurance industry and, of course, they’re salivating at the opportunity for it to be against the law that we don’t buy their piss poor products.
See, it is simple economics…mandating insurance increases the demand for healthcare. The supply side of healthcare (doctors who deliver the care for the new demand) remains unchanged. And primary care doctors are already seeing 40 patients a day for 8 minutes a piece. They can’t see more than that. They’re maxed out. Therefore people turn to the way-too-expensive ERs to get care and, boom, costs go way up. And the insurance companies are laughing all the way to the bank because the government has mandated their products that nobody can use effectively.
