I believe the ideas that I have outlined in this blog and last week’s blog are good next steps in the process of improving the healthcare payment and delivery systems.
In this blog, I’m going to present some ideas to reduce government spending on healthcare. There is no pain-free, silver bullet solution that will fix this problem quickly – it will take a number of steps, over time, to slowly bring costs down.
Ultimately, there will need to be changes made. We have the most expensive and complicated health insurance system in the world, much of it paid for by taxpayers, and millions of people still without coverage. We cannot continue to spend so much on healthcare, especially in the federal budget.
All of the bickering over Obamacare misses the larger point, namely, we spend too much on healthcare – both the federal government, and as individuals.
