Be careful in lumping private sector costs of PD with the public
sector costs. Private enterprise runs hospitals much more efficiently
than
the VA does. Also, there is zero cost to society because someone or
her
insurance company spent $10,000 for pills last year, that cost is only
to
her.

I would not say that there is zero cost to society. Insurance,
whatever its form, gets passed onto the consumer as a cost of doing
business. Several years ago, when health insurance was a hot debate
topic, it was estimated that over $800 of the cost of a new car was
used by the automotive corporations to provide health benefits to
their workers. So who really ended up paying for the union members'
health benefits?
