I suppose there's a good reason why we should have a health-care system that's predicated on transferring billions of dollars from patients to enterprises that don't provide any actual health care, i.e., insurance companies, but I can think of one right now. Sure, the Goldberg Act makes this system a bit more equitable---and more affordable, if you're poor---but the fact that they've had to tinker with it so many times over the past four years seems indicative to me of the inefficiencies that are deliberately engineered into our needlessly complex and confusing system of heath-care delivery, and the Goldberg Act doesn't really solve this problem. It simply shifts the costs around.
