The debate about the Dartmouth work is important because a growing number of health policy researchers are finding that overhauling the nation’s health care system will be far harder and more painful than the Dartmouth work has long suggested. Cuts, if not made carefully, could cost lives.

And they were using the supposition that cheaper care is better care????

It may not be that these people are so evil as they are utterly and hopelessly ignorant, the results of their actions being a terrible evil.

Conservatives were working under the impression that liberals could actually form and understand an argument. I'm not so sure about that now.

I don’t believe they think in a logical fashion, they just spew dogma.

Cheaper is not always better. Just look at the cheap chinese crap on the market that they are charging an arm and a leg for just because it has some designer’s name on it. Looks like my first attempts at sewing, which I started doing at 12, and still doing 5 decades later only as quilting instead of garments.

“The debate about the Dartmouth work is important because...”

Because anyone who believes, like the delusional academics in this administration, that ‘outcomes analysis’ like this study is hard science ready for prime time is laughably uniformed and/or naive.
