"When many cures are offered for a disease, it means the disease is not curable" -Anton Chekhov
''Once you tell people there's a cure for something, the more likely they are to pressure doctors to prescribe it.'' -Robert Ehrlich, drug advertising executive.
"Opinions are like sphincters, everyone has one." - Chris Rangel
Insights: A commentor at the Business Word Blog makes a good point that is too often overlooked in the healthcare debate:
This leads to a fourth useful insight - that it is necessary to keep health care and health insurance analytically separate.

Health insurance is costly because health care is costly, and not the other way around. If the cost of health care were moderate, the cost of health insurance would be moderate.
