A Perspective On Healthcare

I found this at KevinMD. It really hits the nail on the head for what's wrong with healthcare in this country. If I can quote the last two paragraphs:

The changes we truly need are political. We need to reconnect people with the public consequences of their private acts. We should curb the subsidization of private insurance. Medicare recipients should pay more of their bills.
But these changes won't happen because people don't want to see the costs. We don't have the health-care system we need, but we do have the one we deserve.
