Without Skin in the Game, Patients Turn Spendthrift

01 min 57 sec

Add to Profile

Doctor Mike Fallon highlights the fallacy of our current healthcare system by telling the story of two patients who sought unnecessary medical treatment simply because their insurance would cover the costs. Conversely, Fallson says, "People without insurance make good decisions because they have skin in the game."

The Top Ten Myths of American Health Care: A Citizen's Guide [Paperback]

Encyclopædia Britannica Article

health insurance: System for the advance financing of medical expenses through contributions or taxes paid into a common fund to pay for all or part of health services specified in an insurance policy or law. The key elements are advance payment of premiums or taxes, pooling of funds, and eligibility for benefits on the basis of contributions or employment without an income or assets test. Health insurance may apply to a limited or comprehensive range of medical services and may provide for full or partial payment of the costs of specific services. Benefits may consist of the right to certain medical services or reimbursement of the insured for specified medical costs. Private health insurance is organized and administered by an insurance company or other private agency; public health insurance is run by the government (see social insurance). Both forms of health insurance are to be distinguished from socialized medicine and government medical-care programs, in which doctors are employed directly or indirectly by the goverment, which also owns the health-care facilities (e.g., Britain's National Health Service).
