Reader Questions FAQ

October 15th, 2009

I try very hard to answer all your emails.  When I get questions I think will be of interest to all of you, I post my answers on the blog.  I’m going to keep a running list of the questions here, so that people can easily scan them to see if they have been asked before.

Isn’t Infant Mortality (or any quality metric) flawed?

Won’t tort reform fix health care?

What’s the deal with rationing?

Can we really trust the government – look at Medicare!

What’s up with Senator Baucus’ Finance Committee Plan?

Why not allow competition across state lines?

Why is Senator Baucus’ bill cheaper?

Are there premium caps in the bills?

Don’t we need to pay for innovation?

What can we learn from Massachusetts?

Aren’t insurance companies evil?

What about my Cadillac Plan?

Isn’t the public option unfair competition?

Why do we need the public option?

Won’t there be cuts to Medicare?

What will happen to supplemental insurance?

Why not cap government involvement?

But…  won’t preventive care save money?

Why are we cutting Medicare Advantage? – CORRECTION

Can’t the opposition just reverse any changes in a few years?

What about dental?

Why is reducing costs so hard?
