I am often disappointed in US healthcare discussions for similar reasons on gun violence discussions. It can work a lot better, we have many examples of this around the world that can scale and be even cheaper/better like the Canadian system or German system.

But for some reason, we want to do it our own way with profit seeking companies who can game the system or lobby the government for their benefit, not citizens. Maybe that's BC/BS or the NRA, maybe it's libertarians or conservatives that want smaller government (that time and time again fails like in Kansas or with the federal deficit hawks and their lovely tax cut).

We have solutions in front of us. We just need to shift momentum and get there instead of spinning our wheels and debating doing anything at all.
