[edit] Health care prices

Health care prices (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Irreparable soapboxing for health-care deregulation and NPOV violation. Tagged cleanup since February 2006 (!). MER-C 11:27, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

• Delete This is very specific to the United States. Seems very politically oriented. I know, health care prices suck, but belongs more on a personal web page. Mindraker 13:44, 27 October 2007 (UTC)
• Weak keep So rename it, "Health care prices in the United States". It's a good concept for an article, better than the usual my-term-paper-on-Wikipedia type, refers to sources and is written by someone competent in economics; it definitely needs some polishing. 72.151.55.27 14:49, 27 October 2007 (UTC)
• Comment Maybe I was too hasty with the delete. It seems like a one-sided viewpoint from a free market economist's view. It is a good article if you are taking Economics. If I were looking for an article on "health care prices", I would expect a graph somewhere, and maybe less fingerpointing at America's policies. Did this come from an ECON 101 textbook? OK, maybe Weak Keep and/or rename. Mindraker 15:04, 27 October 2007 (UTC)
• Merge into Health care in the United States as a section. NO need for a specific article I feel Carter | Talk to me 15:56, 27 October 2007 (UTC)
• Delete per above. Although I suppose some of the information could be merged as Carter suggested. DrFluffy 22:07, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

• Merge the NPOV bits into Health care in the United States, but it needs to be de-Sicko'ed first. JFW | T@lk 21:24, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
• Weak Recreate/Merge - This one needs a major rewrite at the least. Inclusion with a related article would be appropriate.Hagan jared 02:33, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
