Ezra Klein has an exceptionally smart column today about the mistaken belief by many liberals that the problem with the U.S. health care system in general and ObamaCare in particular is that it relies on private insurance companies.
The gist is that the huge inefficiencies in our health care delivery system are caused by the providers themselves, not insurance companies. Pharmaceutical companies, hospitals, and, yes, physician salaries are where all our health care money is being squandered.
This is mandatory reading.
