I don’t agree with the way he states everything in the article, but John Mark Reynolds gives some good thoughts on the health care bill. Here is one of his most significant points: The more serious problem is what it might begin to do to us as human beings. Giving more power to the central […]

Alice in Health Care

March 3, 2010 by mattperman

Thomas Sowell gives some very sensible thoughts on health care reform in his latest column. Here are the first few paragraphs, which provide one of the most succinct summaries of the key issues that I’ve seen: Most discussions of health care are like something out of Alice in Wonderland. What is the biggest complaint about […]

Controlling Medical Costs by Knowing the Purpose of a Hospital

February 8, 2010 by mattperman

On Friday we discussed Rudy Giulian’s point that leadership involves applying a well-thought-out set of beliefs to the real world. Then we gave education as one example. Health care is another good example that Giuliani gives, also from his book Leadership: I practiced the same discipline in examining the purpose of New York City’s hospitals […]

The Costs of Medical Care

November 30, 2009 by mattperman

Thomas Sowell does a good job of explaining in a recent column how costs are not reduced simply because you pay them in another form. We are incessantly being told that the cost of medical care is “too high”– either absolutely or as a growing percentage of our incomes. But nothing that is being proposed […]

How Health Savings Accounts Can Reform Health Care Better Than a Goverment Bill — Without Creating Any New Laws

November 3, 2009 by mattperman

One of the main reasons that we are in this health care mess is that nobody has stated a clear case for health savings accounts. Health savings accounts just may be the “sleeping solution” to the health care problem. But people aren’t seeing this because most of the time when health savings accounts are discussed, […]

The Worst Bill Ever

November 2, 2009 by mattperman

Nancy Pelosi’s health care bill earns recognition as the worst bill ever by the Wall Street Journal. Here’s the last paragraph: Mr. Obama rode into office on a wave of “change,” but we doubt most voters realized that the change Democrats had in mind was making health care even more expensive and rigid than the […]

Cost Versus Efficiency in Health Care

July 7, 2009 by mattperman

From economist Greg Mankiw’s blog: Advocates of government-run health insurance like to point to Medicare’s low administrative costs (which, as I noted yesterday, is a controversial claim).
