America to take advantage of one of the biggest dirty secrets in all of economics: socialized medicine actually works. (Factoid: the Veterans Administration is its most efficient practitioner in the U.S.) The international data on this are fairly plain, but instead, in America we have a staged debate on whether the world is round or flat. So we go on spending twice as much per person on health care as other developed nations while enduring medical bankruptcies and health insecurity unknown elsewhere. Why can't workers have a raise? Because all the money available for one went to health insurance. If the private sector really is better, let it face the competition of a Medicare system that anyone can buy into at cost.
