I agree in spirit but I'd also point out that our public spending on health care is already at about the same costs as western counties with socialized medicine. [1] Our tax dollars are already paying out as much as other countries do but their citizens get a lot more for their money. The solution to lowering the cost of medicine in the US has not a single solution but lies at every level of the system.
