Oh, she definitely means it, as this has been a recurring theme in her remarks about HCR over time. It wasn't just something she blurted out one day when she was flustered or trying to be funny.
By all means then, please tell us about the doctors you have dealt with who took barter over cash, and tell us about the treatment you received.Haha looking at this article LITERALLY yes it is ridiculous to offer a chicken as payment for a quad bypass. However, I fix computers for a living, if I needed an immunization and instead of paying cash I offered to fix the doctor's home PC and he agrees. What is the big deal?

What you 'gave' us was a hypothetical fantasy, NOT a workable solution to one of the most serious problems this country faces.

No reason for everything to be so institutionalized.
that's quite interesting that is in fact a modern take on the kind of society proposed by utilitarians, which is a billion squadrillion miles from American republicanism.
