> we should force people to do wasteful things in order to stimulate the economy!
you laugh, but this is exactly what the US gov't does, esp. with military budget allocation. Why do you think all sorts of military products are split into different pieces for manufacturing, separated into different states? It certainly doesn't help efficiency.
I'm not saying that healthcare shouldn't be improved via efficiency increases - it needs improving! But let's not kumbaya and ignore the plight of those whose livelihood would be disrupted (and not of their own fault).
