IMHO, the whole thing's a mess. Health care has long been at a crisis point in this country and something must be done, but the current situation is fraught with problems. Seems to me (and you all know what a big deal this is coming from MY mouth) that the only real solution is single-payer. At least to the extent that the government provide some sort of base-level insurance that keeps people from dying of cancer due to lack of funds/coverage, and perhaps allow some sort of supplemental coverage to be sold.
