I again thank you and I encourage readers to read the entire linked article and the comments.

To help people focus at this point note the end of my Sept 15th 2008 comment:

Follow the Pharma money!

I believe this is appropo with respect to the Health Care Reform debate in the US.

As much as in my heart I sympathize with people and would like to see a public option, I have seen too much of how the US government work. Consequently, I do believe it will be a Trojan horse for increasing health care costs for pharmaceuticals and treating the consequences of some very nasty long term side effects that probably won't be appreciated until after any bill is in effect.

I want all our population and especially children to have access to efficient, quality, and reasonably priced health care but I am very fearful that the public option will not do the last two and will instead result in excessive use of dangerous drugs (e.g. psychiatric drugs in children with the attendant toxicities) and a huge price tag down the line to pay for the care of all the people maimed and disabled by them.
