The coming health care fight – questions for the left
Since we’re talking about infinite want/need (with few barriers to preclude seeking satisfaction of those wants/needs) meeting the finite resources of health care provision, how will the government choose to ration health care? Because it will.
Did you know that 5% of the population spends nearly 60% of the health care dollars (and 10% spend 70%). In fact, .5% spend 25%. How do we address these numbers through government? Is this where government will choose to begin rationing care? (Stats from “Health Care Reform Now! A Prescription for Change” by George Halvorson, pg. 2, Jossey-Bass,2007)
