You asked for big black cat, feel like I was lied to.

I would argue that a single payer system with a statutory and fiduciary obligation to negotiate fair costs on behalf of the taxpayers that rely on the service would, in contrast, lower the cost of medical care in comparison to the present system wherein insurance companies and other segments of the health care industry play off both providers and patients. In contrast with eliminating insurance entirely, a single payer system allows for the pooled leverage of buying power to ensure that products and services are not only affordable, but that access to services isn't limited by individuals' direct ability to pay. The quality of care would not be negatively impacted to the extent that the profit motive of health care providers would not be negatively altered (as opposed to the profit motive of the insurance), and it would improve the quality of service and care to the extent that patients are freer to shop around from provider to provider due to the elimination of insurance networks. Tuition reform is necessary across the board, but that process also desperately requires a national discussion on what the intent of post-secondary education actually is, how or when the value of a degree should or shouldn't be tied to career tracks, and why a post secondary education is now viewed as nearly mandatory by society despite the escalating costs.

can you elaborate?

hello, welcome back! the closest analog to IB on UEMB propoer is FFA, so that might be your first place to poke around. additionally, the UEMB discord (linked in a float in FFA) is also largely IB people if you're into that format.

I agree, let's get rid of private insurance companies. A single-payer system, combined with tuition reforms at medical schools, will go a long way towards controlling the costs of healthcare while also eliminating unnecessary insurance bureaucracy, without placing the burden of paying (disincentive) on the patient.

It was all fun and games until the insurance got involved. No ball cupping or buttfingers though.

PCP assigned by health insurance: in network Affiliated lab next door: not in network Interfacing with an unintelligible, unnecessary bureaucracy overlayed on top of interfacing with the bureaucracy of the actual healthcare providers themselves is the #1 reason expanding access to health insurance coverage won't actually expand the use of healthcare providers for people not already in the routine of going to doctors etc. /rant
