A Clear Description of Health Care Basics

Paul Krugman provides a simple and clear description of the basics of health care provision. This is particularly relevant for the US, given that we have taken the first steps towards clearing up our current health mess. The basic problem is that each of the three requirements under the Affordable Health Care Act approach (and the approach in Massachusetts) means that someone's ox gets gored. The fight now is over whether any of the three legs gets repealed (the one under the gun now is mandated coverage), which of course means that the whole logic of affordable health care falls down.
