  > And how is writing paychecks for government bureaucrats any different? It's (supposedly) CHEAPER. That's right in the title. If you want to argue whether it's actually cheaper or not, that's another thing, but this kind of feigned ignorance is really not helping the debate. > I would like to pay my doctor, and my hospital, and my pharmacy for my healthcare costs not some borg. In South Korea, with its universal healthcare system, I always visited a hospital and paid them directly right there. Usually a few to a dozen bucks for common cold, inflamed ears, that kind of stuff. Here in the free world of America, I go to hospital and three weeks later a faceless insurance company sends me a ridiculous bill and I don't even understand how they arrived at such a price.
