When you're in a hole, stop digging.

That cliche has some wisdom when applied to health care policy. Writing for the group Americans for Free Choice in Medicine, Richard E. Ralston says:

Ralston then offers seven principles for reforming health care. My favorite, perhaps: generous tax exemptions to promote charity care.
