This puts Republicans in a tough position, because they understand economics and know that the private system will not be as efficient as the public system, and that the private system could never reach any goals that they could reasonably propose the to public.

What? Is that bolded part a joke?

The problem is the private system will be far more efficient then the public system, but the goals set by congress will be so crazy, that the private system can't reach them. So, the trigger kicks in a Government does it for twice the cost.

Doesn't sound like a good idea to me.

What if Congress sets goals to cut costs down to near levels of other developed countries?

Why should that be impossible?

 

Depends on what they want to cut costs on. If its doctors salaries, malpractice costs, hospital costs and so on, I think that's a great way to go.

 

I would prefer we keep drugs at a high cost. The future advancement in medicine is in the drug field. I want a high reward so companies will continue high risk research.

 

I want everyone to have healthcare, but I am not willing to sacrifice the hundreds of millions of future lives we save with advancements yet to be made, to accomplish it.
