Isn't it rather: keep throwing politics at something until "it works"? Politics is usually the most expensive way to get anything done.

- pas 9y agoNo, it's actually not enough politics. (Or you can say too much of course, because it's a totally nonsensical analogy.) The problem is a very inefficient compromise. The US system is a worst of both worlds, because it has both private and public elements and those both work to jack up the prices. If the public part (medicaid/medicare) negotiated the prices and healthcare providers weren't allowed to go above that, then things were peachy, but that's not the case.
