Public healthcare is not inherently better than private, it has its own problems. I think it is easier and cheaper (both technically and politically) to fix private healthcare incentives than to go the public way.

- jodrellblank 17y agoHow might you resolve the conflict of interest that private insurance companies are better off if they refuse your treatment and you die than if they pay for it?
- raquo 17y agoThe problem is not in the conflict of interest - other types of insurance work mostly OK. The problem is that the health insurance companies can somehow get away from their obligations without being sued to death. Maybe that's because of vague contracts, or maybe something else. I don't know the exact reason.
