“Everybody deserves the best possible health care,” he said.

Which can only be had by the free market system.
The present mess is the direct result of direct government intervention starting in 1964, and that is when health car became disconnected from free market principles and began spiraling out of control.

The solution is less government or no government intervention, not more.

>Health care is a basic human right. - No, it is not.

>Universal health care is doable this year and it won’t break the bank. No, it isn’t and yes, it will.

>Physicians are too greedy and need to give a little.

Sure fire plan for no doctors except the lowest common denominator

>A so-called single-payer system is out of the question.

Any government plan is out of the question.

"Everybody deserves the best possible health care," he said.

What drives up the cost of medical care these days is the fact that the definition of "the best possible health care" changes almost by the day.

Many medical procedures today didn't exist even in the wildest dreams of doctors as recently as a generation ago, and what was considered "standard" medical care 40 years ago would probably warrant civil lawsuits nowadays because of how "substandard" it is by today's measure.
