Government impact on health care


"The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly"

Arnold Kling at TCS Daily provides a common sense analysis of how government can help health care and where government really makes things worse. I don't agree with him entirely, but this bit made the article worth it.

I believe, however, that having the means and the opportunity to make better choices is not sufficient. Consumers also need a motive, which is why I think that our system needs to eliminate the insulation provided by our poorly-designed forms of health insurance. Instead, I would like to see insurance policies with higher co-payments and higher, longer-term deductibles.

I will point out that as government has gotten more involved in health care, the availability of basic services has gone down and the cost of almost everything else has gone up.
