Impeding changes to our Health Care system

Right, currently the hospital has to charge you $900 for a $2 thermometer, because they aren't getting paid by all the people with no insurance.

Under the new--and dare I suggest, better--plan, the hospital can now charge everyone normal prices, because the insurance company is paying them for every patient. And the health insurance company will be charging you $100 for nothing (assuming you don't get sick,) just like your auto insurance company is currently charging you $100 for nothing (assuming you don't get in a wreck.)
