Health Care and Pursuit of Profit Make Poor Mix

"How much should we rely on the private sector to satisfy broad social needs? From health to pensions to education, the United States relies on private enterprise more than pretty much every other advanced, industrial nation to provide essential social services. The government ... provides a tax break to encourage employers to cover workers under 65. Businesses devote almost 6 percent of the nation's economic output to pay for health insurance for their employees. This amounts to nine times similar private spending on health benefits across the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, on average."
