that has all sorts of co-pays and caps... you can drive the cost of the premiums down.

However, the out of pocket expense and the denial of care will mean more people will go bankrupt and more people will die.

End the insurance scam... go with medicare for all. Use the power of 340 million patients to negotiate directly with doctor groups and big pharma and hospitals. End the monopoly of doctor care... make PAs and NPs professionals ( eligible for student loans ) and put a LOT more people in the direct care of minor stuff. Most people don't need a doctor for most issues.

Put a lot of claim deniers out of work... and the AI claim denial service that is replacing the people that used to do this. Put insurance executives out of work. Don't make people think the only alternative is to kill them...
