Healthcare must have at least a significant element of free-market-like self-adjustment. When things get covered - or "uncovered" - according to decisions made by groups of bureaucrats, we better pray that those people sitting on committees and voting know what the in the world they are doing. Otherwise, they'll end up covering unnecessary items, and refuse funding for things which really may make a difference. The problem is that often it is not possible to know in advance what will prove valuable. This means that even assuming that our future healthcare functionaries will not be subject to personal hangups and corrupting influences, the odds are that they will still mess up. If years ago chip companies would "cover" certain directions of research and production, and not others -- today, I would not have my I-Phone and my laptop. If the whole planet will decide to go socialist, we're all in big trouble. Fortunately, some nations who've been there, like China, are moving in the opposite direction.
