    Excellent summary of the problem

    healthcare politics

    • Let's start with the obvious: America has
      not only the worst but the dumbest health care system in the
      developed world. It's become a black leprosy eating away at the
      American experiment — a bureaucracy so insipid and mean and
      illogical that even our darkest criminal minds wouldn't be equal to
      dreaming it up on purpose.
    • The system doesn't work for anyone. It cheats patients and
      leaves them to die, denies insurance to 47 million Americans,
      forces hospitals to spend billions haggling over claims, and
      systematically bleeds and harasses doctors with the specter of
      catastrophic litigation. Even as a mechanism for delivering bonuses
      to insurance-company fat cats, it's a miserable failure: Greedy
      insurance bosses who spent a generation denying preventive care to
      patients now see their profits sapped by millions of customers who
      enter the system only when they're sick with incurably expensive
      illnesses.
