BTW, if vouchers for health care on a national exchange works, will vouchers to get your kids educated be next? You would not believe all the taxpayer money being spent in my town with the school district and charter schools suing each other... and holding special elections.

I think health care is over priced today because the hospitals build themselves palaces to operate and they run up the bill because the government pays. Actually, Kirk, they run up the bill because the insurance companies pay, not the government. The hospitals and doctors bitch and moan because the government is stingy in what it pays. Insurance companies look far more closely at claimants when large claims are made than they do at the hospital bills they get. This is ass backwards but it is so. That is why the situation that Steven Brill outlined a year ago and others have also pointed to exists.
