The Folly of Healthcare Reform
• https://www.fff.org, by Jacob G. HornbergerConservatives maintain that this reform is the solution to the decades-long healthcare crisis. By having everyone deposit money into a healthcare savings account, much like people put their money into IRAs, the healthcare crisis, they say, will finally be brought to an end.
These conservative reformers are living in la la land. What they don't understand is that there is no conceivable healthcare reform plan that can resolve America's perpetual healthcare crisis. Anyone who devotes his time, energy, and money trying to do so is just wasting his time, energy, and money. Even if you put the 50 most brilliant conservatives and the nation's 50 top healthcare experts in a room for a month, along with 100 of the most powerful computers in the world, at the end of that month those 100 people would still not have come up with what the mainstream media calls a "comprehensive healthcare reform" package that would resolve America's healthcare crisis.
