The Health Care Implosion
The Health Care Implosion
05/25/2004 01:22 PMMercury News: Health costs hurting more small businesses. The cost of
health insurance -- ranked the top concern of small businesses since
1986 -- still holds that dubious distinction, a new nationwide survey
shows. But the percentage of firms affected by those costs has grown
substantially.
The health care system, or at least
the insurance system through which our health-care dollars flow, is in
a slow-motion collapse. This story is just one more data point.
Sooner or later, we'll have to make a choice. Should the U.S. go to
national health care, as every single other industrialized nation
provides for its citizens? Or should we go to a totally free-market
system -- not the bogus pretense of one we have now -- that leaves
millions without care of any kind? Or something else?
The insurance industry is systematically excluding people who will
someday need care -- shifting costs wherever possible to taxpayers.
This may be rational capitalism, but it's lousy public policy.
I'm working on some columns on this topic.
Let
me know what you think.

07/14/2004 03:30 PMAnother chapter in the health care meltdown:
Sometime in the next few weeks, barring a surprising turn of events,
the state of California will formally approve the merger of two health
insurance giants. An Indiana company called
Anthem will acquire
WellPoint Health Networks, the
Southern California outfit that owns Blue Cross of California, for
about $16.4 billion.
The deal has drawn harsh criticism for many reasons. Not least is the
display of raw greed by the insider executives who stand to collect
somewhere between $200 million and $600 million in payouts after the
buyout is concluded.

Saddam Hussein, an example for health

03/17/2005 03:24 AMOver breakfast at a favorite little French cafe in Harvard Square
today a friend who is getting a master's in Public Health at Harvard
mentioned that under Saddam Hussein Iraq's entire health care system
had a budget of $18 million and that under U.S. occupation this has
subsequently grown to $1.8 billion. How well did Saddam do with
his $18 mil? http:
//www.cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/geos/iz.html shows
Iraqi life expectancy at birth to be 68 years versus the U.S.'s
77 years. Those extra 9 years are nice, of course, but they come at a
cost of about $1.9 trillion per year or 100,000 times Saddam's
budget.
