Government Health Care: Lower Quality, Higher Costs
Climbing from 3.5% of government revenues in 1965 to over 17% in 1990, the true cost of government health spending has panicked our political leaders. Desperate to control costs, they have mounted a media blitz designed to convince us that while a government takeover of the health care industry may cost more in taxes, the result will be better, cheaper, care. Unfortunately, the facts suggest otherwise. Government controlled medical care has been tried in Canada, Britain, and has always produced lower quality and higher costs.
