A system that depends on people actively negotiating the price of care is not even close to a solution. It's my health, not a used car.

I heard it somewhere - not that I hadn't figured it out - the entire used auto business model depends solely on the profits of the most passive buyers. You weren't born with enough testosterone, didn't have a high functioner in your family to learn from, or were just too desperate to invest the time?, bub, you pay more for the car and nurture an entire industry of fraud in the process. Reducing medical care to this same sort of thing would turn out no differently.

What is the ratio of those who agree? How many incidents do you have to tape to get one agreement?

what is Obamacare like compared to the Canadian system? What stops the US for adopting this system?

The right wing tells us that you hate it and Canadian health care is collapsing. Apparently, you're all racing across the border to get your health care here. As long as all this is true I cannot possibly advocate your system.

What does "last mile unbundling" mean?

Edit: Answering my own question but keeping post for the convenience of others.

“Unbundling the last mile”: Chairman Wheeler threw the telcos a bone by saying he did not favor “last-mile unbundling,” also known as “local-loop unbundling.” Unbundling the last mile is the idea that an ISP must allow competitors access to their delivery lines (think of it as the lines from the cable company to your home or office) at a wholesale price. So Verizon, for example, would have to allow a direct competitor to have access to Verizon’s delivery infrastructure without having to build their own. The idea is being tried in some EU countries where the ISPs are national monopolies. The notion, still unproven, is that by allowing startups to avoid big infrastructure costs, it encourages competition.

From this.
