Reason TV’s
health care coverage has always viewed the Affordable Care Act in
its properly Sisyphean context: Obamacare is a government fix for
problems created by an earlier government fix for problems created
by an earlier government fix. How best to fix the U.S. health care
system? Undo all the earlier fixes. So Nick Gillespie, Meredith
Bragg, and Jim Epstein highlight Reason TV’s best videos on the
ugly mess U.S health care was before Obamacare
and how Obamacare made something terrible even worse. Medicaid has
done a poor job of serving America’s poor, so Obamacare expanded
the program. State laws allowed large hospitals to block new
competitors, so Obamacare made it even harder for new health care
facilities to open. Because of a quirk in U.S. tax policy,
insurance policies cover even routine medical costs, which leads to
general price inflation. And so Obamacare piled on new rules and
mandates that cover yet more procedures.
