It's clearly unsustainable, and it's approaching a tipping point. Ten years from now, I'll wager half the people screaming "Socialism!" at the town meetings today will be on their knees begging for any health care plan they can get because their employers finally gave up on trying to offer it.
Yep, that's what I've been saying. We're going to have government-run health care at some point but it will be many times more expensive than if we would just fix the problem now. Just like the housing industry crash. Could have been minimized or even averted if steps had been taken 10-15 years ago. And ten years from now we'll be pining for the days when we could have fixed the problem for only $250 billion a year.
Agreed. Agreed.
