What role does private healthcare play in the delivery of healthcare?

Because my doctor and/or surgeon can be paid directly

I had a ACL repair 11 years ago

Paid half what it would have cost thru a health insurer

Paid it off in a year and a half

Knee is still great today

I pay people with a skill

Health insurers have zero skill

I will never join a public or private health insurer

Its LITERALLY a waste of money

I am much older than 35

The cost of the ACL repair was much lower than a car payment

but MUCH MORE important than a new car or truck

I am not rich . Last year I made $28000 as a landscape contractor doing mostly irrigation jobs.

I live WITHIN MY MEANS something the US Government REFUSES to do

I am happy with my income and my life because even though the US Government taxes me to an extreme I still manage to survive as a free market warrior who takes NOTHING from the US Government and still manages to help with community service that has NO connection to the US Government . IMBA

They govern it all!
