Ramsin Canon on Universal Health Care

Have you ever thought that adopting Canadian-style universal health coverage in the U.S. would be too expensive, bureaucratic and inefficient; limit choices for patients, likely result in Soviet-style rationing, lack the support of doctors, and ignore the true cause of high health care costs--frivolous medical malpractice lawsuits?

Well, the esteemed Ramsin Canon punctures every one of these claims, and more, in his fine article "How Cold-Blooded Capitalism Can Warm Your Heart, Part 2" at Gapers Block.

Though I have to admit he thoroughly ignored the biggest conservative argument (unspoken, but always lingering nearby) against universal health coverage: "Insurance companies are huge contributors to the GOP."
