Sigh.. This is a plan that is heavily reliant on talking points and an orthodoxy that has questionable relevance to the health care market. Unlike the automobile industry, where demand is derived from the consumer itself, demand for health care services is set most often by the provider. The physician, the nurse, etc. These providers do not have a vested interest in keeping costs down, nor should they. The notion that "competition" will do anything to lower prices is stupid. These are clever buzzwords that do not apply to our health care market. Our method of paying for health care is through multiple insurance payers that operate as a cartel to keep premiums high.
