I think the real problem with health care is that we got into a strange model whereby it is somehow linked to fulltime employment. How people think that my company, an electric utility, is better than the government in providing my health care is quizical to me, but clearly the prior model, where we selected and managed our own care exists only among the wealthy. Personally, I'd love at a minimum a system that disassociated health care from employment

I think the rhetoric is grand to say health care is a right, but there are economics attached to that. And when we speak of human life, no one really wants to place a dollar amount on what that's worth. Most families when confronted with a health care issue will ignore the economics as much as they can, going deep into debt to make their loved one's well. It seems you have to set some level of "minimal" service but I'm not sure what that means.

I suppose in a way coverage happens right now through the acquiring of medical debt, which if unable to pay gets written off and integrated into the costs of those who do pay, so health care is available to anyone with credit enough to default on
