Hillary Clinton wants to take another shot at fixing health care in the United States, which reminded me of my recent dinner with the CEO of a major hospital. Addressing a group of mostly liberal Democrats around the table, the CEO said, "many of you think you want universal health care, but the cost of universal health care is a cost you are unwilling to pay: access and innovation."
Hillary returned to the theme when asked whether Wal-Mart were a good thing or a bad thing for America. Hillary said Wal-Mart is a "mixed blessing." Low costs are great, but Wal-Mart needs to be a leader in providing health care. This reminded me of Arthur Leff's great statement about the doctrine of unconscionability embodying "our incoherent hearts' desires."
