Im truly interested in how other countries are able to provide universal health care. How do you guys and gals who live in other countries keep costs down when there is no competition? Does the government just do a better job there of fighting to keep lower costs than they do in the US?
I'm all for health care reform here. But almost always when there is more government involvement in something in the US, prices skyrocket. If you look at when the skyrocketed in the US beyond other nations, its when medicare/caid were enacted. Insurers could then charge crazy rates to the gov't which then set the norms for everyone else.
Even though I'm a libertarian kinda republican, I don't have a problem with health care for everyone here. But we can't just keep taxing the middle class and rich more and more to fund it. We HAVE to address the out of control costs or we'll never have an adequate solution.
