For example, the government could undoubtedly use its monopsony power to lower the price it pays for drugs--maybe lower the price to something approaching the marginal cost of producing additional pills. It's not at all clear, however, that this is the price we should want to pay, because it does little to fund research and development costs of developing both the existing drug and new drugs. See Michael Kinsley's analysis here. Paying medical providers enough to fund future advances will be very expensive. 4) Yglesias writes The significant financial challenge has to do with covering the bills for old people, but that challenge exists one way or another thanks to Medicare (and the basic reality that senior citizens are largely uninsurable in the private sector) and has relatively little to do with whether or not we can afford to bring universal coverage to the under-65 crowd.

'Ratatouille' caught in category trap
Among the tales of depravity and violence that dominate this year's Academy Awards race sits the bright and shining Ratatouille. A rat never seemed so sanitized. The Pixar film landed five Oscar nominations and was ranked by many critics as one of the year's best yet was never a serious contender for best picture.
