Actually, I think healthcare is far too important to leave it to the free market.

The free market never fails to provide the best products and services at the lowest cost. The reason health care costs have gone up isn't because of the free market, but because of government intervention. The most expensive health care on earth are in the most socialist and communist nations. The more they embrace socialism or communism the more people pay for healthcare, and other substandard services provided by the government.

The government is like King Midas, except instead of gold, whatever they touch turns to shit. Government is NEVER as good as private enterprise at providing any product or service other than killing. Private enterprise can get 6 pounds of oil across the world for less than it costs to send a letter across the street.

Slang: Your idea isn't new. That's the way healthcare used to be in America when we had the best system on earth. You would only require insurance to pay for serious problems....broken legs, surgery, etc. But for your common colds, flu, etc. you would pay to see a doctor.

COBRA is a backup plan just to help you out between jobs or until your new job benefits start. It's reasonable to assume if you're leaving one job for another the new job pays more. Most people move up rather than sideways. So it's reasonable to assume you can afford Cobra for 1-3 months until the new insurance starts. Most company insurance costs about $100 per month for one person and that includes medical, dental, and vision.

--I live in the greatest country in the world. I'm willing to work hard, pay my taxes, and be the best American I can be. I'm entitled to be taken care of by my country, since I help take care of it.

You're paying taxes to fund unconstitutional social programs. And it's not your duty to take care of the government. It's also not the place of government to provide healthcare, retirement, education, or charity to the people. The ONLY VALID ROLES of governemnt is to DEFEND our borders, to regulate commerce, and provide a judicary. Nothing else.

--People who have health coverage may be more apt to go see a doctor when they do not feel well...rather than try to wait the illness out. This will get them on the road to recovery faster, and will result in more productivity, which helps the company work better, which helps the economy work better, etc.

Yes, people with health insurance are more likely to see a doctor every time they get the sniffles. And they keep the hospitals crowded and force the price of medical care up.
