My two cents.
1. Heathcare is not a right. If it is, then doctors are not entitled to the fruits of their own labor. How many farmers would keep farming if folks could just walk out into the field and take what they need? People need food the same as they need a doctor.
2. Prices are incredibly high for medical treatment, but I often wonder if they are connect to the cost. I had $30,000 worth of test done. Insurance would only cover $6000. I ended up paying only $600. How can the doctor provide $30,000 worth of service for $6600 and write off the rest and keep the doors opens? The answer is, the price isn't the same for everyone. Those with more resources (insurance, cash, etc.) pay more than those with fewer. Require all prices to be posted and simplify the billing. It seems to work at the dentist. I always know what it will cost in advance.
What's the answer? Honestly, I've wondered what it would look like if instead of requiring insurance, simply banning insurance. Everyone pays for what they use. Doctors sure wouldn't be charging what they charge, because very few could pay for it. $10,000 to deliver a baby? No thanks, I'll shop around.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
