[QUOTE="poopgiggle, post: 1426941, member: 6406"] Both Friedman and Krugman are (or were) brilliant economists. I was just trying to establish that Krugman is a respected academic economist, not some Democratic Party shill. The greater point is that you will end up paying too much for too little care with private insurers since a large portion of your insurance payments go towards administrative overhead designed to minimize "medical costs" (i.e. paying for your medical care). So when you say... ...remember that the insurance company is actively trying to avoid paying for your son's medical bills, and you're paying for them to pay people to do that. ...so in effect it's now fining people who don't get health insurance? So it's required in the same sense that I'm required not to speed? That's close to required, at least close enough for government work. [/QUOTE]
