Arnold Kling solves the health care problem:
In politics, the victim status of the uninsured is overstated. Meanwhile, the health policy debate is ignoring some important victims:–The future victims of the financial unsoundness of Medicare
–the victims of the licensing cartel, which lowers productivity and raises costs
–the victims of the wasteful medical expenditures promoted by consumer insulation from cost, which in turn is promoted by incentives embedded in the tax system
Economists see these victims. Politically, they are invisible. That is why free-market health care reforms are so difficult to sell.
