More Obamacare fuckups

Open competition would keep them in check. Something our Healthcare system has never had. Check out Singapore's system to see something that works. Yes, there is government oversight and some amount of price controls, but for the most part it's just open competition. They spend 3-4% of their GDP on healthcare, and yet have the best infant mortality rate and among the highest life expectancies from birth in the world. As a comparison, the US spends 17.2% of it's GDP on healthcare (by far the highest in the world), and ranks 50th in life expectancy.

It's typical of US domestic policy since the 70's or so...just throw more money at it!

Singapore is far more willing to slap down monopolistic companies than we are. The comparison doesn't really work. I know you think that companies can do no wrong. I'm quite sure that it'd just be another excuse for prices to rise and consolidation to happen.

So you think it is prudent to spend $1 billion for every $100k in actual assistance?

If this were actually true it might be something.
