Saving lives is more important than saving money.

[Wiseghy]

This is a fairly clear headed look at this issue.

The magic fairly of government will not reduce the US healthcare spend. It will create decades of chaos, likely kill lots more folks than 17K per year, all while draining the Treasury.

And a lot of times you it is not even a issue of saving lives.

We are far more likely to see a doctor today for something we would have just toughed out 50 years ago.

What should we be spending our money on? More shoes? Why is it better to buy makeup than spend it on your health?

[pgyanke]

I have to disagree. The amount we spend as individuals isn’t the cause... it’s the amount the government spends and encourages to be spent. Health care costs have gone astronomical since the advent of Medicare, Medicaid and associated programs... not to mention HMOs and various insurance plans.

Market forces have been juiced in the equation by too much money chasing services.
