CBP podrá ser un fanático empedernido de Apple (nadie es perfecto), pero en estos temas la tiene muy, pero muy clara, creo yo:

The "solution" to healthcare is to get government out, not give government total control. Government has distorted the healthcare market just as they distorted the housing market, by handing out subsidies (tax-free healthcare benefits) and by directly intervening in the market (medicare, medicaid).

If Congress simply eliminated the tax subsidy distortion, by either doing away with the employer-only tax deduction or by allowing everyone to deduct healthcare costs, and if they also eliminated artificial restrictions on the market such as mandated coverage and barriers to entry, we could probably solve 80% of the healthcare "problem" without creating so much as one bureaucracy. Just let the free market work, and it would fix things just as it has in countless industries every day. How hard is this to understand?
