carriers would still not have the incentive to pay quickly...after all they make interest on money that is within their grasp...
lots of america does buy their own insurance, more today than ever i would imagine...and the companies don't pay any quicker on their claims...
the red tape would still exist only the sick and injured patients would pay the price by being bankrupt instead of the MDs sucking up the costs.
just don't see this as a solution.
eventually we will probably see some kind of socialized system with private insurance for the rich that will pay so that they can receive over and above what is deemed necessary medical care. It will be the definition of NECESSARY care that will interesting to me.
