Where There's Focus-Group Life, There's Hope
CongressDaily reported yesterday that polls and focus groups show swing voters to be concerned about "government-run health care," and that "People don't want the government or bureaucrats to be involved in their healthcare decisions."
So: The good sense of the American people, who---thankfully---are not economists, emerges yet again. At some intuitive level, Americans seem to understand something that the journalists do not: There is no such thing as complete coverage in a world in which resources are limited; and even, or especially, government health insurance or health care delivery inexorably must contain spending by rationing care. The only question is who decides: patients and their doctors, or Congress and the bureaucracy?
