Offering alternatives
Excellent article in Vue. Not only pointing out how parallel private healthcare has been a ruinous failure everywhere it's been tried but offering viable public sector alternatives such as New Zealand's bulk buying pharmaceuticals program which has dramatically reduced costs. You may have to pan down some blank space to get to the article - or maybe Vue only does that to my computer. Worth it though.

Thanks for the article.
Good article. There are only two ways to narrow the health care shortfall. One is to raise revenue, the other is to cut cost. Both ends of this candle have to be burned, or we will be left with an unsustainable health care system. With the baby boomer generation retiring and getting to the age where health care is more frequently required, this is more important than ever.
