To take the current mix of financing healthcare in this country into a form which pleases everyone is essentially impossible. Those who decry government run healthcare fear lower quality and rationed care, just as those on the ideological left loath the the corporatization of healthcare delivery. It is an inescapable fact that the concept of the “divided nation” scenario also applies to fragments of the overall political debate, namely healthcare. The financing of healthcare in this country is not immune to such divergent schools of thought. The Obama administration (along with practically everyone else in the country) knows the only way to begin to even think about reforming this broken system is to reach a magical place similar to the political “middle” — that perfect mix of government involvement and private negotiation that pleases everybody. Still impossible? Perhaps not as much, according to this WaPo OpEd.
