Pride, Prejudice, Insurance

Paul Krugman gives us this article on National Health Care:

The funny thing is that the solution - national health insurance, available to everyone - is obvious. But to see the obvious we'll have to overcome pride - the unwarranted belief that America has nothing to learn from other countries - and prejudice - the equally unwarranted belief, driven by ideology, that private insurance is more efficient than public insurance.

Krugman is half right. We can learn about socialized health care from other countries--like Canada and Britain. See here for more information.
