An F In Health Care

TomPaine.com - An F In Health Care
This links to comments on a recent study by the Commonwealth Fund. It has good data on how much we spend comparatively and how little we get for it. It makes some false conclusions about other countries providing 'insurance' for all. Many do a form of single payer and don't just have mandatory insurance with some government subsidy. If we perpetuate the system of insurance, high deductibles and second guessing doctors, the cost of universal access will be too high. Single payer is the only way we can afford to do this.
