Very interesting article.

The Swiss system, though also far from a true free market system, also has some market-oriented elements that could work here. Health insurance there is purchased by individuals, not provided by employers, and has a lot more choice and a lot less red tape for the consumer.

A friend was here, and her husband just passed away. She is blaming the hospital for not doing enough to save him. He was an alcoholic for many many years, and his liver failed. She felt like they didn’t try to help him. He was just pretty much cast aside to die, after a point when they knew they couldn’t save his life. I wanted to tell her that nationalized health care won’t have any treatment for people like him. None at all. Nothing.
