Comments

Excessive government subsidies drove healthcare prices up and Obamacare wrecked it. Health Insurance needs to return to limited coverage with premiums based on risk. Consumers must be able to select their coverages based on cost for medically necessary services.

Healthcare has been experiencing an industry shakeout for decades. The first piece to solve is allowing health insurance to be sold by coverage, so consumers can customize their policies and reduce premium costs.
