Gov. Gary Herbert's Healthy Utah proposal would take federal dollars and run them to private companies to administer health insurance for those now missing out. He is to be applauded for wanting to have private enterprise provide the insurance. But, if the federal government is providing the money, anyway, it kind of feels like we're just putting a mask on it to make it look like private enterprise is doing it. More, we had better be careful we aren't adding another layer of administration, with government administrators still being being there and private-enterprise administrators being added in.
More administration is not the way to bring down health-care costs. It, already, is largely the problem.
