Sounds a bit like Hillary's plan during the early Clinton dynasty – change -- change for the sake of change. Out with the old and in with the new. Wasn’t that Nero's approach to rebuilding Rome? Personally, I believe healthcare was better, less expensive, and more pleasurable to consume before any and all the government tweaking -- pre-Keiser if you prefer (before our time as consumers I presume). :^) Let’s try and fix the existing system without replacing it. One good step would be to introduce controls with stiff penalty for dishonest and costly overutilization and non-compliance by the consumer and/or suppliers; that would be solid step towards correcting the existing system. Correcting an existing system seems more rational than replacement of that system with, what appears to be, the socialized-medicine model. The socialized medicine model is questionable, and has never worked satisfactorily within any political context outside the tangled mind of Michael Moore – even within the military subset. We don’t see folks racing to Cuba for cutting edge procedures. With all due respect to alleged physicians who comment on the great care in India, China, etc., that is dissonant with my experience. Perhaps in a few years, if Nancy, Barney and Barack get their way that will be the case.
