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?

Because the Democrats and Republicans both have huge medical backers.

If you look at Medicare you'll see the funniest thing.

In republican states specialsits are way overpaid and general practioners are underpaid.

In democratic states general practioners are underpaid and specialists are overpaid.

In democractic states, insurance companies are never paid in time.

In republcian states other third parties aren't paid in time.

 

In "balanced" states... everything is overpaid.

 

Medicine is overpaid in just about every state as well.  Since big pharmacy has their money everywhere... but considering how much American medical technology dominates the world and how much is spent on it.  Overpaying for drugs and treatments using new technology may be a good thing.
