Sue Lowden, a former Nevada GOP chair currently seeking the Republican nomination in the June 8 primary to run against Democratic Senate Majority leader Harry Reid, has detailed some of her alternative recommendations for health care policy: Encourage people to save as much money as they can in tax-free health savings accounts — the number she mentioned was $20,000 — and to barter with their doctors.
“I would have said to all of you, if you have a health savings account, I don’t really care how much you save, good for you. pre-tax, go ahead and save as much as you want. It’s your — it’s for your health. And if you want to save $20,000, good for you. Save it pre-tax.”
Lowden continued: “And I would have suggested, and I think that bartering is really good. Those doctors who you pay cash, you can barter, and that would get prices down in a hurry. And I would say go out, go ahead out and pay cash for whatever your medical needs are, and go ahead and barter with your doctor.”
And they want to be allowed to run a country. Frightening.

So really what she’s saying is, even though you have health insurance you should pay your doctor cash so Doc doesn’t have to worry his/her pretty little head with the insurance company billing. Then Doc may or may not report the cash to the taxing authorities, and may go ahead and submit your claim to the insurance company anyway.
Two things:
1. Why have medical insurance at all if you are going to set up a bartering system with Doc (like they’d go for that anyway)
2. Sounds like she wants to set up a parallel economy
