No. The "production" would be the hospitals, doctors, drug companies. The collective would still have to pay for it, and each member pays differently to be a part of it. For example, both an 18 year old male who has USAA and I are equal “owners” of USAA, but as the owner of the company, we agree to charge him more for car insurance then we charge me, because we both agree he is a higher risk then I am. I think the Marxist idea, is we contribute the same resources, regardless of our expected usage. That’s not the same thing here. |
The idea of everyone paying equally is kind of tertiary to Marx's idea. Marx just..... really hated corporations, I think. And the idea of profit being built up on backs of workers.
ANYWAY.
If this healthcare plan works and is a lot (lot) cheaper, great! Hopefully it radically reduces (maybe eliminates!?) the number of people who are without insurance.
