Health care
Jan. 8th, 2008 04:31 pmI'd rant and rave and stuff. But this article explains the U.S. health insurance mess much better. I knew it was all the economists' fault.
“Moral hazard is overblown,” the Princeton economist Uwe Reinhardt says. “You always hear that the demand for health care is unlimited. This is just not true. People who are very well insured, who are very rich, do you see them check into the hospital because it’s free? Do people really like to go to the doctor? Do they check into the hospital instead of playing golf?”
