Duke professor Chris Conover shows in this piece that our medical care system was not, as Obama and so many of his statist cheerleaders said, “broken” before the passage of Obamacare.

Now, saying that the system was not broken doesn’t mean that it couldn’t have been improved. It could have, by getting rid of government interference with competition and efficiency, starting with the idiocy of employer-provided health insurance. But NOOOOOO — the government addicts in power insisted that the solution was a vast increase in government interference, which is certain to raise costs and lower quality.
