Rand Corporation—— noted left wing think tank

[Always Right]

So according to this liberal think tank, it has nothing to do with the real estate melt down and resulting financial crisis.

Corporate interests want to get out of the healthcare business. They have no problem shifting it over to the government in the name of competitiveness.

The rate of growth in U.S. health care costs has outpaced the growth rate in the gross domestic product (GDP) for many years.

As if it has nothing to do with an aging demographic and advancing medical technology. As an acquaintance of mine (a doctor) says, "Curing heart disease means we all get cancer."

I don’t believe ANY study that has a HIDDEN AGENDA

..................

“RAND Health originated in the 1960s, when policymakers were engaged in a vigorous debate about how health care should be financed. To provide a factual basis for the debate, in 1971 the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare (now the Department of Health and Human Services) funded the RAND Health Insurance Experiment, a 15-year, multimillion-dollar effort that to this day remains the largest health policy study in U.S. history. The study’s conclusions encouraged the restructuring of private insurance and helped increase the stature of managed care”

I would love to see a study around why prices are rising. I would assume that a bulk of it has to do with mandates and America’s decline in health. Much of this having to do with the subsidizing of sugary like products....

My question for Mr. Obama is once the government is running health care, will there be a cap on lawsuit damages awarded. I think not. I think there will be loopholes in the socialized medicine plan that will allow folks to sue the government. Which means that the amount of money in these frivolous lawsuits will be astronomical, considering that the American taxpayer is picking up the tab.

Why doesn’t somebody tell these jerks that medical care became VERY expensive once the Federal government got involved. That is the primary cause of the high cost of health care. The more government, the higher the cost. Why is that such a difficult concept? All one need do is look at history. We don’t have a health care crisis. We have a cost for health care crisis. Blame the government!
