I read nothing in these proposals that addresses the real crisis in health care - COST! Medical inflation continues to rage far ahead of the growth in the economy - or people's income. "Health care" is devouring an ever increasing chunk of our economy. As a percentage twice as much as in other developed nations. You think maybe that puts us at a disadvantage in the world economy? The only solution is single payer health care, eliminating the half of very "health care" dollar that is wasted on the insurance industry and administrative paperwork. Single payer means the government negotiating lower drug costs and treatment costs. As to government administering health care - it doesn't seem to have hurt John McCain who has enjoyed cradle to grave government health care. And Congress seems to have no problem being on a government health plan. Anyone who believes our health care system is market driven is a fool. It is a monopoly.
