Dave's healthcare fix: tort reform, portability, HSAs
Dave Funk lays out his healthcare position: the system isn't broken (90% insured, most happy), so shrink the uninsured number honestly and fix it with realistic tort reform, major-medical policies sold across state lines, and easy health-savings accounts modeled on passbook savings. He contrasts government-run care with LASIK, which got cheaper and better with no third-party payments, and illustrates consumer price awareness with a $2,800 tonight vs $1,400 Thursday MRI scenario that becomes a running joke.
