The True Cost of ObamaCare

When The New York Times is publishing articles critical of ObamaCare, you know it must be bad. This summary in The Weekly Standard points out that the Dartmouth study that the White House is relying on for its health care facts and figures does not even take into account quality of patient care or the survival rate of patients when determining what constitutes wasteful health spending. In another words, under the Dartmouth formula good health care equals cheap health care, regardless of results. This is obviously counter-intuitive -- it makes no sense that spending less on health care would result in better health care. Now Obama has nominated Donald Berwick, a champion of the Dartmouth health care model and of the disastrous British medical system, to run Medicare and Medicaid. Our country's top-quality health care system is about to vanish before our eyes.
