Why don't you all list your own names on this blog? It would only seem fair to list your own names and credentials when you are in the businesses of criticizing real people who post under their own names (i.e. Becker and Posner).
You (and Becker and Posner) assume that the employee can actually buy health insurance in private markets. Many cannot and as they age, most cannot. If this isn't market failure, what is?
The overuse of health care is not initiated by the patients except in the emergengy room. The 30% care useless care used in the US is initiated by the physicians who are fearful of malpractice and the fact that most physicians don't know their patients and vis-a-vis and therefore cannot trust in anything but hard evidence.
It is easy to find faults but difficult to make your own perspective. Don't anti this anti that. Get a life, losers!
Crit Cowboy - Wow, that was an incredible piece of garbage that you just wrote. You argue by changing the rules. You make assumptions that change the entire framework. I have to assume that you are a frequent visitor to, or even a blogger for, dailykos. As others have requested, what is your real name and what are your credentials, if any. Absent you posting those, we can just assume that this is some biased piece of probaganda meant to pursue a personal political agenda without following a logical and factual framework.
Really?? I didn't think it was that bad.
It makes sense economically and socially for everyone to have health care. But, the problem with getting to this point is Republicans, like this one: http://www.greenfaucet.com/hanlo...-the-rich/

Who can't handle the idea of higher taxes on the rich because they're the ones creating the jobs!
Here's some news for you, Top 10% of the country- pay the taxes and pay for healthcare or provide it directly to your employees
Good article, thanks
Until you tell me who you are, and what your bona fides are, I'm going to--basically--ignore you. I only came here by accidentally clicking the wrong link. In short, earn a Nobel prize for your peer-reviewed research, and then I'll listen to you.
By they way, an "Anti-Anything" blog really sounds petty and spiteful and lessens your credibility, while cashing in on the fame of other people's names, i.e., I got here only my clicking the wrong link when I was looking for Becker-Posner.
Why don't you tell us your names, oh so knowledgeable experts of economics? You are cowards.
