> Our wait times for elective surgeries are terrible. Our use of electronic health records is still patchy at best. Innovation is extremely difficult - health tech startups simply cannot sell into the giant health insurance bureaucracy without going under. Americans who propose such systems have no awareness of this reality. While "healthcare for all" sounds great and makes for a good political campaign slogan and bumper-sticker, none of these people would tolerate living under that system for a microsecond. Some of us have had the experience of living in countries where you have "healthcare for all". And, I have to tell, you, it isn't "healthcare" and it sure as hell isn't "for all". Wait times in the hours, days and months are not uncommon. I have to believe entrepreneurs could do far better than government ever could. This has been the case for nearly every human pursuit in history. Not sure why we don't give it a shot. Setup a competition. Let the best system win. Let people choose.
