“Should we have single-payer food and housing?”
October 6th, 2007 | by Brian |Yesterday I was quoted in a Rocky Mountain News article about a health care reform meeting in Boulder:
Though the tide at the Boulder meeting was decidedly toward single-payer, commissioners were quick to point out that the sentiment might be different as they solicit public comments throughout the state.And at least one speaker, Brian Schwartz, proposed getting government out of health care entirely - calling Medicaid a “failure” and an example of why single-payer won’t work. Instead, he advocated the free-market system.
“Should we have single-payer food and housing?” he asked. “Didn’t we settle that with Soviet Russia and North Korea? Why is health care different?”
I’ve posted a PDF of the print edition here.
