To elaborate on my last post: I said that I want to hold a meeting with people who are interested in free market health care reform.
The first meeting have to be a physical event at a physical place where people meet and discuss things. There are several reasons for this.
The first and most obvious reason is that health care is about people. Healthcare not be delivered as a mathematical formula. Healthcare cannot be delivered in a book. Healthcare cannot be delivered as a public policy. If we wish to care for the health of people, we need a system where people interact with other people.
The term "business" actually comes from the term "busy." A business is a thing that keeps people occupied.
I contend that Funding Health Care is a business problem and it requires a business solution.
A fundamental part of the claim above is that health care is about people.
So, lets get back to the proposed meeting. What I would like to do as the COVID19 crisis subsides is to find a group of people that is brave enough to sit in a room and discuss the creation of a business.
In the meeting, I will present a business model. I designed this business model as an alternative funding mechanism to group insurance.
The people who were brave enough to attend the meeting would, of course, become joint owners in the business model.
There are billions of dollars involved in health care. It is a business sector that dwarfs cryptocurrency.
The cost of holding a meeting with a dozen attendees is about a hundred bucks. It takes about a hundred bucks to start a business.
The current health care sector is 20% of the US economy. So, lets see: We can divide this by that and carry the two.
Investing an afternoon to create a business model to disrupt a multibillion dollar industry might pay off.
I live in Utah.
No. I am not Mormon.
I actually have a problem that the Mormon Church has several billion dollars invested in insurance. When I try to present my business model locally, I get squashed.
The business model I present will fundamentally challenge the power structure wherever it is discussed.
The concept is like cryptocurrency. The innovators of cryptocurrency had to take a huge risk because cryptocurrency falls outside the given power structure.
SteemIt, Hive and Bitcoin are unregulated securities. The business model of cryptocurrency falls outside the current power structure. The people who created this platform could well have gone to jail for their effort.
Free market health care is like cryptocurrency. The power structure was formed around insurance and government funded health care.
It takes courage to stand up against the power structure.
Very few people have such courage.
Powerful entities actively suppress the discussion of alternatives to insurance. But, guess what? The United States still has a Constitution.
Anyway, what I have been wanting to do for the last few decades is to find a group of people who are brave enough to meet in a room to discuss free market health care reform. The meeting will end by creating a business model for funding health care.
We could also create a little blockchain style database, although the real key to success is people.
The business model is intended to disrupt one of the largest sectors of the economy. There is an absurd amount of money in health care.
The meeting could take place in Utah. Utah is a very pretty place. The hotels are affordable. The state has deep canyons and high mountain peaks. The meeting could take place at a campsite. It costs nothing to camp! The could take place in a restaurant.
Putting a meeting together is easy. Getting people to attend it is a bear of a job.
Monopolies promote waste and abuse. Slapping a veneer of democracy onto a monopoly and calling it Universal Healthcare doesn't make it suddenly wonderful. We need competition, consumer choice, open prices, and less regulatory capture. How do we get there? I don't know, but it may require an underground black market economy in real medicine at this point.
i don't think the Government will be open to any disruptive ideas of that manner. Not when there is so much to be gained from retaining the old order
Governments don't have minds.
It may be true that the people who are in power favor the insurance regime.
There are more people who are disenfranchised by the system than those who have gained power through insurance. So the balance of power will reside with reform.
The problem is finding that little tiny group brave enough to attend a meeting that discusses how to disrupt the industry.
The second problem is that the group has to have a model that avoids certain pitfalls.
PS: The people in power are opposed to crypto. Crypto exists. Unfortunately, crypto is insufficient to provide the disruption we need. Wall Street need simply wrap crypto. The power that be can then find a few corporate raiders like Justin Sun to take over.
This is why I get back to the idea that reform must start with a small group.
The hard part for me is finding a group of people brave enough to study the mathematics of health care ... which are easier to understand than the mathematics of HIVE.
