Can you explain your logic about pushing for non-government reform if "government has proven incapable of reformation"? There is no healthcare fix without government reform. If you provide healthcare, you must adhere to government regulation. You must accept Medicare/Medicaid reimbursement rates. If you provide insurance, you are at the whim of the government and what each new year brings [+].

You cannot improve this with capitalism. You can only improve this by replacing politicians who are married to a broken system through vested interests.
