Colorado voters have "schizophrenia" on healthcare

I stared at this article in the Rocky forever yesterday, without really knowing what to say about it. Some subjects are too important for snark.

Recent polling shows that Colorado voters consider healthcare a top priority, and many are willing to pay higher taxes for a universal system. But voters are confused by the misinformation that's been spread by the free market faithful.

Universal healthcare delivers better outcomes at lower costs. And a voucher system (such as the one you can read about here) preserves many of the benefits associated with competition.

America's healthcare system is costly and ineffective. And the solution is right in front of us.

Besides, we already HAVE universal healthcare. as Joe Rice pointed out during his campaign, it's called the ER. We already all pay into this worst of all possible universal healthcare systems so that ship has sailed. Anyone who thinks they aren't already paying for other people's healthcare, wake up. The only relevant question (unless we are willing to start letting people die in our streets)is: Do we really want to go on spending more and getting less out of our health care system than the people of any other modern industrialized nation on the planet?
