Re: DoubleBagger24 #15
Nice layout post DoubleBagger. I guess I am out of the loop. I had to look up what aoc meant 
I like you idea:
1) address a problem/ topic
2) discuss solutions
3) discuss political ideologies and "impedance"
Main drivers of spending?
The insurance model price disconnect may help drive up cost. I can tell you produce and ice cream is cheaper at Krogers, milk at Aldi, etc. But I have no clue which hospital is cheaper for which procedure. I don't shop around. I assume there is probably a difference. Same with Rx cost.
Also, if I walk into Aldi and pay $3 for a gallon of milk and someone walked in and paid $1, I would be upset and demand I pay only $1 for it. This is an exaggerated example, but that price disconnect I feel could inflate prices. Isn't that is what (if we want to keep for-profit) a capitalist model suppose to do?
