>Making it cheaper = better access = better health outcomes. How do we know? Every other industrialized nation does it better than we do for cheaper.
My understanding was that the nations that have better outcomes for the poor tax people and use that money to pay for government supervised medical care, and that it's the government paying for and supervising the care that leads to better access.
Private sector solutions, as I said before, seem to work extraordinarily well for the rich, both in medicine and education. If Stanford will let me in, sign me up. But, when I am shopping on the low end? I want some government intervention. Cheap private sector medicine, I suspect, would look a lot like cheap private sector education... ITT tech, Corinthian Colleges, or at best, the university of phoenix.
