The good news is that we learn more about the economics of health care, as if they know the Clinton's tried and failed to remake the system.As we will see, the evidence clearly shows that the main problem is the fragmentation of U.S. health care system. Failed effort to introduce universal health care is a history, we left a system in which the government pays directly or indirectly, more than half of the nation's health, but the actual delivery of both insurance and care be informed through the maze with the for-profit hospitals by private insurance companies and other players who add cost without added value, is created. Canadian-style single-payer system in which government directly to an insurance company almost certainly will be cheaper and more effective than what we have now. And we can do even better if we "are embedded" systems such as the Veterans Administration, to directly hear some health services and health insurance.

The bad news is that Washington does not seem to care at present to accept what the evidence says she is able. In particular, lobbyists, especially the pharmaceutical company and a free market ideology, the influence of those involved in the Bush administration is totally inadequate for health problems. Consequently, policies and reforms to the track in the ranks of uninsured.Before discussion, however, we are the current state of U.S. health care debate to increase the fragmentation of our system seems to be determined. UU .. We start with a seemingly naive question: rising health care expenses?

In 1960, the U.S. spent 5.2 percent of GDP on health. By 2004 this figure had increased to 16 percent. At this point the United States spends more on health food. But what's wrong with that? Rising health care costs that the starting point for discussing an important sense the increase in these costs, in a sign of progress, should be. Similarly, the annual publication of its long-term financial planning is the latest version of the Congressional Budget Office, has exceeded the growth of health spending growth, regardless of the source of wealth .... The most important factor of development and the increasing use of new medical technologies focuses on the development .... In the health sector of the economy in general technological progress in many areas, the language is not unlike the associated costs.

At least three points in this proposal. First, health spending is growing rapidly, "regardless of their source of funds." Translation: Although health care is paid both by the government, the case of a runaway public spending and private spending is growing at a relatively fast clip. "Compared to common benefits," Kaiser Family Foundation, Medicare changes in the last three decades in the development of private health insurance premiums is spent on large-scale call followed. In general, increases Medicare, private health insurance are less than.

Secondly, the "new medical technology" the most important factor in increased spending, we spend more money on medicine because there is more that medicine can do. Third, health care, "technological advancements in general, reduce costs, they are not" picked up the new technologies to produce cost savings elsewhere in medicine, the savings compared to the additional results from the expansion of medical facilities expenses.
