Paul Krugman: Obama Has 'Largely Accepted Conservative View Of The World'

There is no mechanism for lowering the costs of treatment. Obama put a fox in charge of this chicken coop -- Former WellPoint executive Liz Fowler will be writing and enforcing the regulations. 

Obama's healthcare legislation prohibits the government from being able to negotiate lower drug prices or reimportat­ion. 

The insurance mandate is, indeed, a tax. Contrary to what Obama claimed, the IRS will be the enforcer, which means compounded fines and prison.

Obama took single payer (Medicare For All) off the table, because if the goal is to get affordable quality medical care for all then everything else pales in comparison.

He's preserving an anachronistic and failed insurance industry and employer-provided system for medical care. It's government sanctioned racketeering.
