From Say Anything:
What it boils down to is this: The vast majority of Americans who have health care coverage now would have to exchange the most responsive, most advanced, most comprehensive medical care in the world they receive now for a system that is prone to waiting lists and rationing of services, is really expensive to fund through the government and is run by the same people responsible for such monuments to bureaucratic efficiency as the post office and the department of motor vehicles. All so that a minority of this country’s population could enjoy “free” health care.I just don’t see that happening.
Are there problems with our current medical system? Absolutely. It costs too much, and so people are reliant upon their employers and the government to pay for it. But I think the solution to that problem lays through introducing market forces into the health care industry by making individuals more responsible for paying their own medical costs rather than a system that shifts that burden onto the collective.
