Imagine if the Government ended 90% of its muckraking about in the Healthcare industry. Insure across state lines, go right ahead. Medicaid and Medicare ended tomorrow.
Government quit dictating care, demanding doctors file tons of paperwork (they do, a lot of it's FOR those programs) and so forth.
In replacement, each city, each population area had a free "hospital" and more locally regionally as population needed, free clinics.
You have to be unemployed or under a certain income level to qualify and each state is responsible for 35% of the costs.
The rest of the cost is covered from the now defunct Medicaid/medicare programs, which in closing out would remove huge amounts of bureaucratic upkeep. I'm not abolishing the taxes for these programs. It would become a new "Free care" tax as it were. Cost the same. Since those two programs in 2015 for example were 26% of the federal budget, we should be able to make it work.
What say you? And no this isn't all set in hard stone, feel free to comment on changes if you see a need.

As a policy, this is incoherent. I don't just mean ideologically, I mean performatively. After you abolish medicare, who distributes the funds to the hospitals? The Fairy Godmother? After the states pay 35% of the costs, who covers the remaining 65% of the costs? The "defunct", no longer extant Medicare administration that you just fired? What the hell does that even mean?
If the government quits dictating health care and the government is required to pay for low income housing's medical insurance, what stops doctors from charging poor people ten times as much for every procedure? Hell, what if one doctor charges a single patient a billion dollars for a procedure, and then pays the patient 300 million to agree to it?
Other than releasing regulations for people who have a sufficient income to pay for health care and thus making their health care enormously ****tier, what does this really actually accomplish? Like what, specifically, are you trying to have happen here? Other than abject chaos, of course.

Yes. Awesome. Do it.
No thanks.
1. The best solution is to always put the responsibility on the individual. When people are personally responsible they tend to make decisions that benefit themselves.
2. You want to trade a conglomerate of government nightmare programs that are constantly subject to the current political whims with a single...bigger...government nightmare program that is subject to the current political whims.
3. When in doubt...reduce spending and tax rates.

How large are the cities that get free medical services? 1 million people? 500k? 100k?Government quit dictating care, demanding doctors file tons of paperwork (they do, a lot of it's FOR those programs) and so forth.
