Key Elements of a Market-Based Health System

 Market-Based Changes in Health Care

- Proposals can be fundamental (like radical deregulation) or smaller (like reducing fraud in Medicaid/Medicare).

- Key elements of a market-based health system are essential for progress.

Deregulation of Health Insurers

- Insurance is a market institution, not a government redistributive plan.

- Insurers have limitations in coverage due to risk calculation, not ill will.

- More groups can be insured, but not everyone can be in one large group.

- Limitations and exclusions help create stable insurance groups.

- Freedom includes the right to limitations and exclusions rather than forcing insurance on social groups.

Direct Payments and Competition from Smaller Medical Facilities

- Lack of health insurance does not mean lack of access to healthcare.

- Direct payments for medical services can increase competition and supply.

- Less reliance on insurance encourages savvy consumer behavior.

- Example: Cosmetic surgery market shows price stability and supply increase.

- Direct payments allow patients access to cheaper services:

- Hip replacement: $15,500 at Surgery Center of Oklahoma (SCO) vs. $74,000 in Boston.

- Urologic procedure: $4,000 at SCO vs. $40,000 in Georgia hospital.

Medical Subscriptions

- Direct Primary Care (DPC) allows patients to pay fixed monthly fees for services.

- DPC leads to better doctor-patient relationships with longer appointment times.

- Example: In Montana, DPC model supports patients with chronic illnesses, providing affordable care at an average of $87/month.

- Market-based health systems increase accessibility without monopolies.

- Diverse solutions ensure healthcare access without excluding the needy.

"On November 7, after the absentee ballots were counted, Joe Biden was declared the winner of the presidential election. It was the very next night that Albert Bourla, Pfizer's CEO, called me away from my neighbors' fire pit to inform me about the game-changing results from the Pfizer mRNA vaccine trial. I finally thought we had truly turned a corner in defeating this terrible disease." Today reports: In another interesting tidbit, Fauci discusses Trump's FDA Commissioner Stephen Hahn declaring that he would not go along with the Trump Administration's plan to roll out the vac...
