Yes and no.
I think healthcare is heavily meddled in already. In fact healthcare, is one of the most heavily regulated marketplaces anywhere.
As long as it is so heavily regulated, then we should drive down the cost.
If we were to free the market from all the tons of government regulation I would be all for that, but I see zero sign at the present of any such thing.
So I am very strongly advocating the GOP stop sitting on their hands, and actually compete for votes.
I agree healthcare is heavily meddled in. As with most things government gets involved in the costs have skyrocketed. I believe the ACA will just drive costs higher and higher. I don’t think it’s sustainable. Until they start trying to drive cost down it is going to be an awful mess. One of the biggest drivers is the jackpot legal system that drives up medical insurance and forces doctors to over protect by ordering unnecessary testing. The AMA holds a lot of responsibility here also though. I don’t blame it all on lawyers. The AMA needs to quit protecting their own and when a doctor is screwing up they need to get rid of him. They need to limit damages to actual damages and dump the punitive damages. If a doctor needs punished they need to pull his license. The patient holds some blame here too. We all demand the latest greatest treatments, newest testing and the newest wonder drugs. The scary part is now that govt has full control of healthcare they will feel compelled to deciding your diet and they will be deciding who is worthy of treatment and who isn’t.
