Obamacare is another thing that frustrates me that Trump can't articulate. Mandating insurance is dumb. Routine procedures are not insurable. Insurance is not healthcare. Traumatic and life threatening illnesses that happen randomly and you can't possibly prepare for are the only things that are insurable, by definition. When everyone pays x monthly just because, it doesn't matter what the hospitals do. They can charge whatever they want and have whatever absurd bureaucracy they want, because the end consumer only sees x$ a month that they have to pay anyway.
It's a very similar problem to education and mandating everyone is able to get a loan for whatever cost. Colleges can literally charge whatever they want, because the government will guarantee a loan.
It's very similar to the 2008 financial crisis, people could charge whatever they wanted for homes, because builders / homeowners could charge whatever they want because they could get loans.
It's very similar to the current auto-loan bubble, has anyone else noticed way more luxury cars on the road in the last few years? Is everyone magically able to afford an Acura / Lexus / BMW in this amazing economy? No, people are getting auto loans for 6.5 years!
It's very similar to the
CELL PHONE LOAN BUBBLE. God dammit, people can't even afford iPhone without a 2 year loan! Verizon, et al, encourage the loans even though THEY ARE PHONES AND BREAK WHEN YOU DROP THEM, but it's ok because just securitize the loans.
Hey Government, if you actually want to solve problems, how about working toward actual price transparency? If people charge too much, prices need to come down. Don't let people play retarded financial games . . . err, oh yeah Social Security, national debt, 5k screws from Lockheed, negative interest rates kkfj;oejf;loiafv;ioewajrefakjngfuieagrtiuloshgliuhslgbnsflkjitnfkodhjagrhuegoihegibnlf
