Beautiful post, I totally agree. Basically we need: (1.) A system that covers everyone (2.) A system that rewards innovation and drives down costs (3.) A system that offers lots of choices. The only system I've ever seen that's able to do that, no matter the industry, is the well-regulated market. For me, it's a fairly simple problem: (a.) doctors & health care companies charge for products and services (b.) Consumers receive those services, but can't afford the bills so, (b.) Consumers finance those charges with health insurance - usually through employers. The problem is that the charges have gotten so out of hand that the financing has put a limit on the services. That's usually called "a credit limit". But with health care, people still need the services, so we argue about new financing with no credit limit by taking from the tax payer. That's pretty stupid. If the bills are too high, why are we trying to solve the problem through financing??? How about we oooohhh, I dunno .... figure out how to lower the costs to affordable levels?
