How to Fix Health Care: Lasik Surgery For The Medical Debate
June 18th, 2010 | by admin |
Make no mistake about it. Health care reform is coming. But what’s the best way to fix our health care system, which is an inefficient, complicated mess of private actors, third-party payers, public subsidies, and innumerable state and federal regulations? Should we place our faith in the government or in the free market? ObamaCare supporters argue that the answer lies in more government—more subsidies, more regulations, a law mandating individuals buy health-insurance coverage and, of course, more taxes to pay for it all. The alternative is to base reforms on what works in the other five-sixths of the US economy, where choice and competition increase quality and drive down prices over time. Can a market-based health care system work? We can begin to answer this question by looking at Lasik, a medical procedure that’s not covered by health insurance. And has gotten better—and cheaper—over time. “How to Fix Health Care” proposes three simple reforms that will put us on a path to a health-care system that’s better, more affordable, and more accessible. And get this—these market-based reforms can be implemented without creating new government programs or raising taxes. Approximately 8.30 minutes. Produced by Paul Feine and Meredith Bragg.

there’s a market for it. If no one wanted insurance it wouldn’t exist. It’s only when the government got involved that it became a problem.

The free market wouldnt help those who couldnt afford expensive health care but there are plenty private nonforprofit organizations that would be able to.

Thank you, it was very stimulating. I’d love to pick up when you have the time, perhaps in a private message as not to hog the channel

From the standpoint of a monopoly, you’re right. If there was one huge pharma company out there your logic would make sense. I don’t know how many times I have to say that free market competition keeps this in check.
