It's probably time to stop expecting politicians to solve these problems for us, regardless of what they claim on the campaign trail.



yeah but only they can write the law and nominate judges to enforce it.

IMO getting rid of the tax subsidy for employer sponsored insurance, enforcing anti-trust law on health providers (insurance, hospitals, etc.) by forcing them to disclose prices and getting rid of onerous licensing regulations will achieve the intended decoupling between health insurance and employment.

However, you need to pass laws for all that.


medical insurance is a political problem, so the only solution is also political.
