It will cost a lot more than the current system and the government (meaning us) will be responsible for all of the costs. First, on costs. You seem to believe that having established a system that rations care through capacity (your point 5 in benefits), that Congress will stick with that rationing plan. Is this something you believe or have you not thought through the dynamics? The first time there's a big media report that someone "died because of lack of access to healthcare", Congress will quickly act to make sure that there is more capacity in the system. Take something as non lifethreatening as digital television. Did you catch the hundreds of millions of dollars in the stimulus bill for digital conversion beyond the hundreds of millions already spent? There is no way on God's green Earth that rationing by capacity by the government is a feasible solution. You want to reduce the price of healthcare to zero through government clinics and simulteously argue that people will use less health care? Most economists would argue that quantity demanded increases when price declines. <div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('13409','SteveinCH'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('13409','SteveinCH','Chad, \n \nThere's a few small problems with your proposal.
