^ Bryce, you just don't get it. Giving insurers more choice and less requirements - like covering 26 year olds who should be working and buying their own damn policies - helps to reduce costs overall. Putting a cap on the pay of medical personal and allowing more of them to practice will help insure there are enough to go around. People don't choose careers based strictly on pay alone. There is job satisfaction and life fulfillment. If we subsidized the education of medical personal in exchange for pay caps that might help. If people want to make more they are free to try find another line of work.

You're forgetting the "other" insurance that you'd have to regulate the costs of to do this, liability insurance. This is a large burden on both individual providers and medical groups.

Put caps on medical recoveries for malpractice and PROHIBIT insurance companies from collecting any part of it. All the money goes to the victim.

Are these posts meant to be serious? They are descending into idiocy.

Pay caps? Where else in private industry do we have govt enforced post caps?

Who determines the caps exactly?

Are you going to do this across the entire scientific/pharmaceutical/device community, or do you think the entire healthcare workforce consists of only nurses and drs?

Whining? I used to pay $10 a month with a max out of pocket of $1000. Yes it had gotten worse before Obamacare but after it passed forget it! It went NUTS! I only pay for myself.




Supposed to understand? Why don't you understand that carrying 26 year olds who are clearly not children make insurance expensive. All these stupid little requirements should be add-ons you pay for separately not make us all pay. Tell your damn 26 year old TO GET A JOB!

Did you pay $10 per month in like 1984?
Something isn't passing the sniff test about the post.

I hear this a lot. Being 100% serious does anyone know of another person who has won money in a malpractice suit?
**When I say know, I mean someone you know at work, hobby group, neighbor, family member, friend. I'm not talking about I did a google search and found a guy who was awarded 700 million for some messed up stitches.
