Re: Is Health Insurance Socialism?

I am not trying to be cold blooded with respect to healthcare. We are at a crossroads for healthcare with the debate centered around the pro's and con's of free market versus socialized medicine. The current situation is already a compromise between the two because of socialist insurance. I still think demand side economics is the answer. The government needs to help set up, but not administer, buying groups for its citizens. The result will be lower prices for the same level of goods and service, since the buying groups can negociate for direct purchases at wholesale prices. The supply side will need to get more efficient to meet profit projections as the price drops. What will be left will be cheaper and more efficient health care.
