"It is amazing that people who think we cannot afford to pay for doctors, hospitals, and medication somehow think that we can afford to pay for doctors, hospitals, medication and a government bureaucracy to administer it"

- Thomas Sowell

About this Quote

This quote by Thomas Sowell is a criticism of the concept that government-run healthcare is a practical option to the increasing expenses of health care. He is pointing out the paradox that people who believe we can not pay for to pay for medical professionals, medical facilities, and medication somehow think that we can pay for to spend for all of those things plus a government bureaucracy to administer it. He is indicating that the expense of government-run healthcare would be too expensive and that it would be more efficient to keep the current system of private health care. He is also recommending that the government administration would be inefficient and costly, and that it would be much better to leave health care in the hands of the private sector.
