Rationing Health Care - Forbes.com

Rationing Health Care - Forbes.com: "the president keeps repeating his straw man argument--that we must support his government-centered options for reforming our health system, because 'the alternative of doing nothing' is unacceptable. But specific alternative reforms that would reduce health care costs, such as removing government-defined barriers to competition, eliminating special interest insurance mandates and empowering the consumer rather than government with control of the money, information and choice, have already been proposed, despite their invisibility to mainstream media.

The honest debate should be about whether the costs should be forced down by increasing government intervention and control, or if Americans and their families should be in control of their health care."


Beware the straw man, as we have noted many times before (search this blog for "straw man").
