Thanks for pointing this up. It’s a pity that people need to be reminded that PRICES ARE A RATIONING SYSTEM, but I’m glad someone’s doing just that. Thanks for pointing this up.

They ignore the current method of rationing and deplore a new (fairer) method. Among many things, we have middle class taxpaying families, uninsured or underinsured, taxed to pay for Medicare and Medicaid for others (some on Medicare fairly wealthy), and those very families' health care is rationed by price and wealth right now.

One of the voters in Iowa asked Republican Senator Chuck Grassley why his healthcare coverage wasn't as good as Senator Grassley's healthcare coverage. The Republican Senator's advice: "YOU CAN!!! GO WORK FOR THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT". So, if you want GOOD healthcare coverage folks, Senator Grassley recommends you get a government job. I guess Grassley should know. You can watch Republican Senator Grassley's answer on this link. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YzZwAhuqzAw Mr. Kwak recommends reading Uwe Reinhardt to learn more about healthcare, which is excellent advice.

Since you're studying at Yale, one of the best Universities in the world, which undoubtedly takes a lot of effort and "burning the midnight oil" we've decided to forgive you (haha). Just don't let the Yale neocon brainwashing breakthrough to the better recesses of your mind, OK??? Hey James, “baseline” isn’t “baseline” without James Kwak.
