I was just making the point that Romneycare is not worse than what existed before and is probably better, given the ease with which I was able to obtain individual coverage when I needed to.
The health care system is far from perfect in Massachusetts or elsewhere. Starting in WW2, when employers began offering health care benefits as a way to evade FDR's wage ceilings, we've let health care become more and more insulated from the market. We need to divorce health care from employment (and from government) and make it subject to market forces. That will wring out the inefficiencies and put providers' efforts towards providing real value.
I was just poking a little fun with you.
Great points you made. Thanks for your insight. It's very much appreciated.
