Blocking irresponsible healthcare 'reform' from Team 'Hope 'n Change'

Let's make sure the health care Looney Tooners are denied the ability to act like spoiled little brats, whining and moaning if they don't get everything they want to satisfy their political, social, and economic agenda regarding health care.

Noteworthy:

"As an example of those conflicting priorities, (Victor) Fuchs himself writes,

'If the current health care reform initiative is limited to questions of coverage, without serious attention to cost control and coordination of care, the "crisis"in health care will continue to plague us for years to come.'

(Almost sounds like something a member of the Anti-Universal Coverage Club would say.) I would add that conflicts between delivery-system reforms and financing reforms (e.g., covering the uninsured) only arise when dealing with command-and-control approaches to reform.

Neither Fuchs nor Altman intended their articles to be used as a guide to block health care reform. But since Messrs. Obama, Baucus, Daschle, and Wyden have already given us a fairly clear picture of the shape their proposed reforms will take, free-market advocates should scour both articles in their entirety for useful tips on how to beat back the next great leap toward socialized medicine."
