Can healthcare be reformed if the government is less involved

[ShyGuyInChicago]

1. Can healthcare be reformed by making it a free market system so that prices can go down because there is much less government involvement and therefore more competition? Could this be better than universal healthcare and/or mandatory health insurance?

[Korashk]

The answer is yes.

[TopGear]

The answer is yes.

When I thought me and you would never agree. Finally!

Yes, absolutely.

It depends on what your definition of "reform" is. Would health care be cheaper? Yes. Would it be cheap enough to cover the poor? That's debatable.

Government just needs to stay out of it in general.

well, if people in america worry about the health reform, look at the UK's NHS, the most successful health service on earth, it provides alot of jobs and is better for the public.

but

with the US founding principles and constitution i can see why it can be looked at badly :)

I presume you aren't british? The NHS is expensive, inefficient and poor quality. Doctors are lazy, dentists are hopeless and nurses are underqualified. I would favour less gov't intervention in Healthcare
