Ho-hum, more deck chair shuffliing. We need the government to get out of the healthcare business. It has massively increased costs and decreased quality. Take away government meddling and nearly everyone could afford a much higher level of healthcare than what we have now and at far less cost. I remember back in 1979 a hayfever shot had to be given by a registered nurse in the presence of a doctor. The cost was 25 dollars. In Mexico the exact same shot from the same drug company was available for a peso (about 25 cents). The hundred-fold price increase was entirely due to government meddling. That's why people think they can't afford health care.
