Daniel Payne on Why Both the Left and Right Are Doing Health Care Reform Wrong

So far,
the essence of Obamacare has been delivering inferior products at
higher prices. On its face this may seem like a standard,
garden-variety failure of progressive statism. But the Obamacare
mess isn’t simply a problem of the left; the right is complicit,
too, writes Daniel Payne. 

The star reform effort that Republicans put forward in 2012
proposed a healthcare plan that was, at its core, functionally
identical to Obamacare. What libertarians and conservatives
should do, argues Payne, is dispense with any notion of moderation
and offer a serious set of proposals to strip away the deleterious
effects of government meddling in the healthcare market.
Meanwhile, the left should get away from the messy and embarrassing
disaster of Obamacare and instead advocate for what it truly
desires: a government-administered, single-payer healthcare
system.
