Economics 101


Remember the Health Care issue?  I don’t think it has been solved yet.  I could solve it though.  Check this out.  I see three parts to it:  Health care providers, insurance companies, and people.  Are they all necessary?  What if we got rid of the providers?  Can’t do that, then nothing would happen when people got sick.  The people pay for everything, either directly or indirectly, so we can’t get rid of them.  What if we cut out the insurance company factor?  The process could still work.  What does the insurance company do, anyway?  They take your money, pay a whole bunch of people, make some profit, then pass the rest along to the health care providers.  Let’s just take less money from the people and give it directly to the doctors and hospitals.  We just cut the cost of health care in half.  Health care crisis solved!

 

What did I just do, put a few hundred thousand insurance company employees out of work.  Oops.  There goes the economy.
