Imagine if they went to the extreme of outlawing insurance companies. Everything is out of pocket. Right now, all the costs are set around insurance companies deciding who gets what services. You'd have multi-million dollar equipment suddenly sitting empty, and general practitioners and pharmacies inundated with people wanting a cheap pill to fix 40 years of abusing their body, which was encouraged by a culture of 'eat what you want, drink what you want, do what you want — how bad can it be, cigarettes are full of vitamins and beer cures many diseases!'
Oh we would have some people suffering. I'm ok with that because you need to reset the mentality. A generation of short life span wouldn't necessarily be awful.
