>> Whenever the government engages in price fixing, it destroys the economic signals that are needed for a market to be sustainable and always leads to worse outcomes for consumers. Price fixing is never the answer. Single payer is simply price fixing by another name.

Agree totally. Really, price controls. But the point holds. Government price controls have never worked in the history of economics. And until they get government out of the health care business this isn't getting any better.

There is a real problem with trying to solve the current situation in that Republicans have nothing and Democrats are pressing hard for more government. Democrats are going to win that battle every single time. And the problems just get bigger and worse.

I don't think it is going to get any better.
