Politicians at work - Governing Healthcare
It appears that politicians are not the "cure"...
Victoria C. Bunce and J.P. Wieske discuss the issue in the Wall Street Journal:
"For almost every health-care product or service, there are at least two groups that want insurance to cover it: those who sell the products and services so they can get more business, and those who use the products and services to lower their out-of-pocket costs. Both of these highly motivated groups push state legislators -- and increasingly members of Congress -- to require insurance to cover the care. As a result, government interference in and control of the health-care system is steadily increasing -- and so is the cost of health insurance."
