I bet the trick to lowering health care costs is to need health care less, too.
Aha! You've figured out their ingenuous strategy! /s
But seriously, what in the smooth-brained bullshit is this kind of logic?!
It's the same shit they did & still do with COVID-19 testing. 'If we do less tests, there will be less cases recorded! Problem solved!'
I save money on healthcare by spending 1/4 of my paycheck on health insurance and then absolutely never using it - hoping I cease existing if anything occurs.
These people literally don't understand economics beyond the absolute basics of supply and demand.
