So you want to "make health care available for everybody"?

And that some version of the schemes proposed by Obama/Hillary/Edwards/Kucinich, et al, is the answer?

Learn the lesson that the new Big Dig in Massachusetts teaches us.

Key point:

"The real problem in health care is the way the tax code and third-party payment system distort incentives. That's where John McCain has been focusing his reform efforts – because that really does have the potential to reduce costs while covering more of the uninsured – and Republicans ought to follow his lead.

In this respect paradoxically, we can be thankful that Massachusetts ignored the cost problems that doomed other recent liberal health insurance overhauls in California, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Illinois. The Bay State is showing everyone how not to reform health care."
