Excellent points on Health Care

I found this post on Marginal Revolution excellent reading as the health care debate heats up in the campaign.

Some key points:
- spending more $ does not increase health result outcomes in many cases, so be wary of a plan proposed that does this. The US is a huge spender and does not produce commensurate result. (Does this sound somewhat like the conversation around our approach to education also? Lots of spending without as much result?)
- pharmaceuticals are one area where spending does seem to produce results.
