is there a plan in which "wealthier people" are going to provide the $ as an answer to the healthcare issue? not that I'm aware of...
the answer to the issue is to stop the spiraling costs of healthcare. oue country spends much more per person for mediacl care than other similar societies, yet we are not healthier nor do we get better care.
the first article hit the nail on the head imo. the quote was something about how medical care costs less when the providors act like doctors and stop acting like businessmen...
a good question is if for-profit medical facilities are the illness. can medical costs be reduced if the providors do not have any financial interest in the facilities? that seems to be what the data says.
one thing that is true...the fact that over 17% of our income is spent on healthcare, and that figure is increasing, is as large an issue to our continued prosperity as any issue out there. we cannot as a country continue to do the same thing going forward, our system needs to be reformed.
