Cost and Reform
Below is Neil Whipkey’s response to my comments about the relationship between the cost and coverage issues:

“I believe cost is not an issue, at least with regard to reform. I am firmly convinced there is more than enough money in the system to provide universal coverage for preventive care, routine care, emergency care, and end of life care. The issue is not the cost, rather it is the money in the system, how it is generated, and how it is dispersed to providers.”
