Socialized Health Care in the USA

[--Pete]

Hi,

So, my point in showing you this is that the US system is broken for everyone, both the insured and uninsured alike.

I agree completely with this statement. I also agree with your previous statement that continuing to do something that has failed repeatedly in the past is insane. Now, our health care system in this country is primarily one with the free market suppling a lot of the insurance and services, and the government more or less (mostly less) regulating it. The outcome is expensive, inefficient, probably corrupt. And your solution is more of the same?

I doubt that our government (the best government that money can buy) will really solve the problem, but they can hardly make it worse. We need change, and even a little change can, in the long run, lead to great improvements. So, I'm willing to settle for an incremental start with the hope of an eventual solution.
