I think the one lesson I have learned is that there is no substitute for paying attention.
The only truly individualistic health-care choice – where you receive care that is unpolluted by anyone else’s funds – is to forgo insurance altogether, paying out-of-pocket for health services as you need them.

We’ve got people that are paying premiums of $1,000 a month out there, and then they’ve got a deductible of $1,000. If you’re making $40,000, $50,000, $60,000 out there and you’ve got an Obamacare plan, by and large you’ve got an insurance card, but you don’t have any care because you can’t afford the deductible.

You can lull the paying customers as long as they get slapped.
