Kill the Bills. Do Health Reform Right
by Charles Krauthammer
WASHINGTON -- The United States has the best health care in the world
-- but because of its inefficiencies, also the most expensive. The
fundamental problem with the 2,074-page Senate health-care bill (as
with its 2,014-page House counterpart) is that it wildly compounds the
complexity by adding hundreds of new provisions, regulations, mandates,
committees and other arbitrary bureaucratic inventions.
Worse, they are packed into a monstrous package without any regard
to each other. The only thing linking these changes -- such as the 118
new boards, commissions and programs -- is political expediency. Each
must be able to garner just enough votes to pass. There is not even a
pretense of a unifying vision or conceptual harmony.
The result is an overregulated, overbureaucratized system of
surpassing arbitrariness and inefficiency. Throw a dart at the Senate
tome:
