The Obama administration completely overlooks the past experience of others with regard to government meddling in health coverage:
One: The bad service the Canadians and Europeans get in terms of care and by rationing of care.
Two: The sharply rising costs of Medicaid and Medicare, forms of government sponsorship, in this country.
Three: The fraud in Medicaid and Medicare that now exists.
Four: The current shortage of doctors and providers without adding the additional patients proposed.
Five: The experience of the few states that have what the Administration wants for fifty states, on, for example, “guaranteed issue” coverage.
Six: The need to have tort reform when compensating patients for medical malpractice, in order to reduce costs.
The administration can propose step-by-step changes without emulating problems encountered elsewhere, but does not.
