While I agree that Obamacare is a mistake the Republicans have not offered an alternative. The reason I opposed Obama’s health care plan is that it did nothing to control costs.
Just today David Lazarus wrote an article in the Los Angeles Times about a woman who has an outpatient surgery at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. The surgery began at 10:40 a.m. By 3 p.m., she was on her way home. The cost for this event was $65,000. Fortunately she had insurance.
Why would a four hour simple procedure cost that much money? Mr. Lazarus does not have an answer.
