I wrote on my blog that I am upset about the cost of doing NOTHING on Healthcare. I noted taht a recent report by the New America Foundation's health-policy program estimates that the cost of doing nothing about health care, including poor health and shorter lifespan of the uninsured, is well above $200 billion a year and rising. That's enough to cover the uninsured and still have some left over for other public-health needs.
I got this response from a frequent conservative visitor:
It's going to rise either way. At least by it being privatized there will be some incentive for at least privately owned practices to have competitive rates.
How would you respond?
