A warning note, Readers: In the bosom of the OO Staff, to stimulate debate and thought, it is permitted to advance any proposition, whether shocking or not. In today’s column, we follow that practice. Do not be offended, we are thinking, an activity disfavored in political circles everywhere. We start by (1) examining the costs of the fancy medical procedures that careful doctors regularly perform, (2) totting up the annual costs of a list of prescription drugs, (3) totting up the costs for extreme medical attentions, then (4) asking whether there should be any personal responsibility for taking risks, and (5) asking if the very best medical care for everybody, all the time, is affordable, and, last (6) examining the hard market answers to questions (4) and (5). Do not be offended; think.
