U.S. Senator Hillary Clinton launched her presidential bid talking about the issue she knows best--health care reform. Since the plan she proposed as First Lady went down in flames, millions more have been left uninsured and the cost of care continues to skyrocket. The big question I have is whether the horrible outcomes critics warned would befall us if Hillary's proposal was implemented haven't come to pass anyway?
One of the major complaints of opponents was that people wouldn't be able to choose their own doctor under Hillary's reform plan--some faceless government bureaucrat would pick for you.
But how is that different than what we have under managed care plans, which make you pay substantially more or offer no reimbursement for non-network providers?
