Apparently undeterred by a new president and new administration, the left’s assault on the U.S. health care system continues apace. In today’s Daily Dish, American Action Forum (AAF) President Douglas Holtz-Eakin discusses the pitfalls of single-payer systems, and announces the creation of a new AAF initiative designed to identify and improve upon weaknesses in the U.S. health system – while preserving its strengths.

Holtz-Eakin concludes:

The upshot is that U.S. health care system isn’t perfect – far from it – but replacing it with one in which the government dictates every aspect of care will inevitably lead to less access, not more. To further this discussion, AAF is starting a new initiative, “Reality Check-Up: The Truth About Single-payer Systems” about how other countries’ health systems perform and to provide fact-based comparisons with the U.S. health care system. Stay tuned.
