People have long been trying to figure out how to make health care affordable, a problem that seemed to be more of a non-problem back in the day of few medical options, doctors who made house calls and offered barter for services.
I’d suggest that the minute the government subsidizes anything, elementary economics will dictate that you’re just going to raise the market equilibrium intersection of supply and demand so the benefits will be quite small over time.
Absolutely. And if it doesn't pay providers enough, they won't take it. The gov manages almost everything badly; their abilities and powers should be sharply limited.
