In the end, that's all this is . . redistribution . . . taking money from the "haves" to give to the "have-nots".
If you redistributed all the money in the world to a medical system run by people like Koan you would not be guaranteed excellence. With a Koan medical degree anyone that wants to practice medicine would be granted a diploma in surgery and would be allowed to operate. If young Johnny spent endless hours including his weekends and evenings studying to be the best surgeon he could be he would find himself on equal footing to Petey who spent his freetime smoking dope. After all Petey is a good fellow and who are we to judge, if Petey screws up we have this big insurance fund who will take care of it. Let the rich pay is Koan's mantra.

"You could have protected the wealthy and the well, instead of recognizing that sick people tend to be poorer and that poor people tend to be sicker and that any health care funding plan that is just, equitable, civilized and humane must, MUST redistribute wealth from the richer among us to the poorer and the less fortunate. Excellent health care is, by definition, redistributional." Donald Berwick Obama Medicare Czar

"Berwick's critics have cited his statements about the need for health care to redistribute resources from the rich to the poor and his favorable statements about the British health service. They quote Berwick as saying, "The decision is not whether or not we will ration care - the decision is whether we will ration with our eyes open."
