I've written a lot here on the subject of heath care/health insurance reform. I think it is time to go back and link my favorites on the subject.
Only articles here, no book length treatments or websites that require lots of looking around. I have linked to both of those in abundance and will do so again in the future. But what I want to do here is link up short, solution oriented pieces that won't overwhelm my busy readers. If you have questions about where to go to get more long-form information, email us!
That said, these articles contain, in my opinion, the best suggestions on how to improve the system:
The front page of the Docs for Patient Care website has a great list of key points that should/must be included in any reform.
John Cochrane, writing here in the Wall Street Journal, talks about how to bring the innovation that has brought down prices and improved quality in industries like telecommunications and computers to bear on health care. He specifically talks about ways to bring creative new solutions to the problem of insuring people with pre-existing conditions.
The Cato Institutes's Michael Cannon has this piece in Investors Business Daily on how the market functions best when the individual's health care is not controlled by an insurance company bureaucrat, or a government bureaucrat, but by the individual him or herself, in consultation with their doctor.
That's it for now. Look for other articles on health care reform as I find them.
As always if you wish to comment please email us using the link on the right side of the page, just below the words, "About Me".
Well-reasoned, insightful comments and challenges will be posted. Thank you.
