Health care financing crisis

Fellow NH blog Wizbang on health care:

I have no idea what the solution is, but I have a fairly solid notion of what will NOT work.

It’s been a tenet of mine that if you want something done in the most inefficient, most ineffective, most cumbersome, most expensive, and most unproductive way, have the federal government do it. (Line lifted from this posting, when I ‘teased” this one.) And I do not think that our health care funding crisis is so bad that anything would be an improvement — especially getting the federal government involved.

So when someone talks about getting “the government” to fix the health care crisis, remember the last time you dealt with the DMV or Social Security or the IRS or Immigration or any other government bureaucracy — and imagine them being responsible for your health care.
