Health Care Idiocy

Why are we still on first base with our national discussion of healthcare reform when the rest of the industrialized world has figured it out? Almost all of them pay less and get better results. A recent Frontline laid it out pretty clearly.

Why aren't we discussing how we can adapt what others have learned to work here?

Enough worrying about rejiggering competition or becoming more patient-centered. Just look around, see what everyone else is doing that works, and appropriate it for ourselves. Yes, it will take toughness to stand up to those who do well under the current system but that's called l-e-a-d-e-r-s-h-i-p.

Short, obvious post for a short, obvious solution to the healthcare problem.
