What is Healthcare?

Healthcare is only products, and services. These products and services are relatively expensive because they are valuable. We should realize that we are responsible for planning for and paying for our own healthcare products and services. Once we accept this, and reject the notion that our healthcare is the government's responsibility, we can move on to a productive discussion about how to reduce costs and improve delivery. After all, if costs and delivery issues were tamed, why would you want anyone else to have any control over your consumption of the healthcare products and services you choose to purchase?
