I actually dug through this article, and found many of its economic arguments compelling. What do you guys think? The proposed solution is to have catastrophic health insurance (really catastrophic: like $50k deductibles) and free annual checkups afforded to every American. Everything in between would be financed by patients themselves, ensuring that market forces correct consumption and pricing in a big middle swath.
