Ours is the era of inadequate AI alignment theory. Any other facts about this era are relatively unimportant, but sometimes I tweet about them anyway.

    They could just repeal literally all the health-care regulations and licensing, and the health-care crisis would end immediately.

        Do you mean all kind of health care legislation (incl. public health insurance, individual mandate) or just supply-regarded?

        Supply is the priority, but it'd be necessary not to slip supply restrictions back into what aid will pay for.

        If you want govt to pay for something, be sure NOT to introduce ANY restrictions on the supply of it. Otherwise price shoots up.

        The govt of every other first world country manages to pay for healthcare. Wonder why US finds it so hard.

        US pays $4000/person, same as others do. But US healthcare costs far more (restricted supply!) so it doesn't cover everyone.

        You're saying US-style public/private hybrid healthcare is more restricted (more regulated?) than EU-style public healthcare?

        This is not what economic theory says - what about adverse selection? I agree that most licensing regulations are bad.

        Human rationality struggles with price-rationing of health-related goods.
