The point, to me, is, this can all sort itself out. There's no need for government intervention. The patient decides what insurance he wants. He decides what doctor he wants. He uses whatever sources he deems appropriate to judge the ability of the doctor. He picks the treatment he wants. If the doctor charges too much, he finds a different doctor or chooses a different treatment.
We do this in every other area of life. There's no reason it wouldn't work in body repair too.
The big problem in the 'health care' 'system' debate is that the problems are caused by the government that the morons and the manipulators push on us as the solution. The body repair industry is already run by government. As one of the articles above points out, the feds have already driven 90%+ for-profit hospitals out of business.
The problems with 'health care' all come back to its not being run for profit.
