    You know what american healthcare really needs is more regulation!

      Are you saying it needs less? Why do you think that?

        yes. It's completely insane that health insurance A) does all price discovery B) is tied to your employer.

        Ask an American hospital how much something costs - you will get a completely fake price back, this is a sign of a totally broken market.
