Americans are willing to pay higher taxes to guarantee that
everyone has health insurance, according to a poll.

The sad thing is - as per discussions yesterday - this is exactly NOT
the answer.

We need to be much smarter about the use of resources and funds then
today.

 

Obviously a huge amount of money is wasted in fruitless admin' paperwork
- just for starters.

 

Then - providing metrics to allow people to self-correct dangerous
health maintenance behaviours.

 

And improving the level and quality of care within the system.
