“Dean writes that in order to have a secure future, the country has to move away from fee-for-service medicine, which is all about incentives to spend more, and has no incentives in the system to keep patients healthy.”
Haven't read through all the posts to see if this point was already made, but what Dean doesn't consider is the incentive of the patients. In a health care system in which individual patients share some degree of financial risk for not taking care of their own health, there is an incentive for more healthy behaviors. If patients share some financial burden for resources used, they will be motivated to avoid having to use those resources.
If, on the other hand, everything is ‘free’, and provided by the government (i.e. our taxes), there is no incentive to do anything other than show up when you're sick.

"Dean is opposed to IPAB on medical grounds."Still, he unwittingly finds himself squarely in the free market argument, simply based on the logic of medical ethics.
I suspect he'd go into instant spin mode if found out.

Surprise, surprise. Although it's hard to believe he didn't know it before. He just realized that a LOT of the American people hate 0thugga's Hellthcare and that doesn't make him look good. Self serving and criminally insane, like all Dems and a goodly portion of Rs.
