Comment on The health-care bill has no master plan for curbing costs. Is this a bad thing?

Comments

Yes. This is the major problem with leaving out a public option. There is no way to control costs without one. Preventative medicine has been shown to improve patient outcomes but has also been shown to increase, not lower, costs.

A lot more than a public option is needed.
