Fair enough.
And also fair enough that it need not be government run. Some countries
do have very successful insurance driven health care - simply because of
government regulations to prevent the companies from abusing it.
Haven't looked at Obama's bill. General consensus, though, seems to be
that it's different from virtually all models out there, so it's a toss
up as to whether it's a good plan or not. I guess we'll know 40 years
down the road.
