Continuing the expose above it may be a good idea to restate the obvious concerning the transfer of wealth from those who earn wealth to those who administer health care.
This must happen. It is possible, of course, for all the heath care professionals to have two jobs. One job earns them wealth and the other job is a charitable enterprise where they administer health care.
If that is the case, then, they must earn enough wealth to survive before expending effort administering health care.
This can be views as 'a for profit' venture and this can be viewed as 'making a living'. This can be viewed in any way anyone wants to view it; the fact remains that wealth must be created and transferred to the health care professionals for there to be a health care profession.
Who pays?
That is the pertinent questions.
How much is paid?
That is as pertinent.
If not enough people pay, then, there will be less heath care.
Look at this from the excessive perspective. What, for example, could occur if too many people paid too much wealth to too many health care professionals?
This is not too difficult to imagine and this experiment in thinking expands the conceptualization of the entire health care industry, practice, or whatever word describes the process of human beings caring for the health of human beings.
Imagine, for example, taking the entire military budget wasted in the Iraq war and dump that money into the Health Care Profession as a grant to anyone wanting to start an insurance company. Imagine even making it a no bid contract where George Bush awards the First American Insurance Company (privatized) to his cousin or rather - anyone will do.
The First American Insurance Company headed by Ebenezer Bush has 400 billion dollars worth of capital to begin offering insurance to customers.
If Eb calculates too much cost to new customers, then, he won't get any customers. If Eb calculates not enough wealth transferred to Health Care Professionals, then, he won't get any customers. If Eb calculates not enough charge to customers and too much charge to health care professionals, then, the 400 billion will evaporate quickly.
Eb may still not have many customers if, in fact, a better insurance exists somewhere else - somehow. Usually the 'better' insurance company only looks better and/or is subsidized by taxes, where, the real costs are hidden.
Old Eb; however - keeps everything transparent and Eb charges very little to insurance customers and Eb awards huge amounts of wealth to each claim.
Suppose, then, that Eb starts out in 2008 with 400 billion and the whole FUND is gone by 2009.
What happens?
Use your brain.
