And to this blog for highlighting an article that some of us, including me, might otherwise have missed. Your contrafactual punch line –if only The Times had exposed the Iraq invasion plans before we went to war—suggests the only feasible answer to the conflict between profit motive and quality health care. The answer is comprehensive, national health insurance. That is the fundamental ethical problem, in my view, of health care. Quality care for all is not possible if the profit motive is running the show. As your concluding paragraph indicates, if our government weren’t spending one billion two hundred thousand dollars A WEEK in Iraq, it would have the resources and energy to do something about health care for the elderly -- and the forty-five million people in the US without health insurance.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
