Divergent Views of Healthcare Reform

I want to point you to a rebuttal of my last post on healthcare reform. Dr. Rocky Bilhartz is a thoughtful cardiologist and an excellent writer. In a blog post titled Divergent Visions, he offers a completely different view of right care. Go read it. So what if you don’t agree. Christopher Hitchens said in Letters to a Young Contrarian that “time spent arguing is, oddly enough, almost never wasted.” Dr. B makes good points. I was most drawn to his take that central planning mandates more bureaucracy. Yeah, I guess that is true. Two things we can all agree on: health care policy is damn hard, and we need more input from caregivers who actually care for patients.
