Interesting article by economist Bill Freeza. He says that its not a lack of will but pure economics that prevents the government from "fixing" health care.
You have to follow his analogy of setting an artificial price on a ham sandwich to understand why the government determining prices for health care services just does not work.
Agree. or disagree, it is an interesting view.
