Voting for Your Health - an Escape from the Health Insurance Trap
Pooling health risk through insurance has led to cost explosion because centralized third-party payers with deep pockets cannot deny even cost ineffective medical treatment for life-and-death cases without arousing a sense of tragedy and inviting legal challenges. If the same total health budget is distributed equally on a per capita basis, funding decisions for treatment can then be voted on in a decentralized manner. Because unfunded treatment would be a result of majority choice and not bureaucratic decision, both a sense of tragedy and legal challenges can be avoided. Such voting can be coordinated by mutual-aid health unions which serve as fund-raising agencies and consumer advocates
