Cheaper for who? Cheaper for you, maybe. Someone else would be paying your tab. Your employer is already paying most of your health insurance tab and you want still more?

Nobody's forcing you to use the insurance plan offered by your employer.

Involving the incompetent government will only make things worse. Healthcare providers will have guaranteed customers with guaranteed government payment. Why innovate when you're on the gravy train? Why try harder when you're guaranteed a full waiting room?

You complain about those insurance companies, but maybe you should complain about your employer. You know, there ARE varying levels of coverage that you can PURCHASE from those insurance companies. If your employer paid for a more comprehensive plan, your coverage would be greater. Maybe you should ask your boss why they aren't meeting your healthcare needs by paying even more for your benefits package.
