So I'm just gonna ask a dumb question... what do insurance companies actually bring to healthcare?

If they magically didn't exist and billing & costs were managed by one not-for-profit entity, what would that look like?

Kinda like single payer perhaps?

uh oh... maybe i should send em some donuts 😊
thanks for heads up.

my apologies for briefly feeding a troll - i will do better 😊

oh dear you are a bot... bye hope anyone else seeing this blocks you. how's the weather in Russia today 😉

Sorry I wasn't clear... i read it, then looked up who funds the author... Frasier Institute. They are a conservative think tank. Was hinting that anyone reading this be mindful that they have been rated as biased on some of their opinion pieces.

After reading it I looked up who funds the org that wrote this. Was unable to find where they quoted sources which made me curious. Perhaps at best, take what they published with a grain of salt.

Curiosity led me to do a few searches on countries mentioned and found reports of sophisticated bot farms. Searched "x accounts" on FB and there are tons of posts looking for people to take over or run multiple x accounts. I always figured this was the case but am blown away by the massive scale.
