[QUOTE="av8torntn, post: 253212, member: 8259"] Here is an article for you to consider. It gives you an idea that there could be a reason why health care costs what it does. [url]http://www.fff.org/freedom/0692c.asp[/url] And just in case you still think medicare is efficient in the market. A quote. A look at the data is instructive. The effect of tax exemption and the enactment of Medicare and Medicaid on rising medical costs from 1946 to now is clear. According to my estimates, the two together accounted for nearly 60 percent of the total increase in cost. Tax exemption alone accounted for one-third of the increase in cost; Medicare and Medicaid, one-quarter. [url]http://web.archive.org/web/20070219053505/http://www.hoover.org/publications/digest/3459466.html[/url] I think most people can see your way of having the government interfere in the health care market does not work. Most of the countries you have put up as models for us to follow are trying to move away from socialized medicine yet somehow you want to move farther that way. [/QUOTE]
