  • @whoo689 I don't know about the feasibility of a mandate or the willingness for one, but this book is older now.

  • Arnold Kling's book "Crisis of Abundance" is much more original in making healthcare more affordable without excessively insulating consumers from prices. I'd recommend reading his before reading Regina's, although I have yet to read her books, so maybe I'm judging too soon.

  • MORE health insurance is not what this country needs. More health insurance will result in more distortion and insulation of consumers from prices. You want true consumer-directed healthcare? Make consumers pay more out of their own pockets, so they can be conscious and aware of costs and choose the cheapest stuff. So they don't let moral hazard get the best of them. But this woman wants to mandate ALL of us get insurance, which is totally uneconomical and absurd? She's an economist?

  • So... she basically agrees with Obama, in a sense (insurance mandate)? Ook...

    Wow! And here I checked out 2 of her books from the library. Why does the market in healthcare need MORE mandates and subsidies in order to make it "market-driven"? That sounds absurd to me. How about first removing the distortions and regulations that PREVENT lower prices and better quality?? Healthcare is insanely regulated!

    Risk adjustment?? Forcing companies to give up some of their profits to otehrs?
