>> On the other hand, those countries made that transition at a time when populations were still growing, delivering economic growth and a demographic profile that eased the burdens of paying for it all. They implemented their systems before the kind of hypertrophic growth that U.S. health-care prices underwent in the 1970s and 1980s. Slowing the rate at which costs grow is a much easier political task than actually cutting reimbursements. If the public allows that to happen it will deserve what it gets. Government fails to create a working system so we hand it to government to "fix" in the same way they have fixed the VA. It is just stupid. But I don't doubt that is the direction they'll take it.
