You'd need only look as far as FEMA to see an example of what a government agency can provide. Do you really want a similar agency running your healthcare? I'd sooner sign up for Google-Health, if there were such a thing.

Personally I was waiting out for Enron-Healthcare. Oh wait. Maybe both systems can fail catastrophically. ;)

Enron's ability to manipulate the system was only possible because the system was not a free market, but a disastrously regulated market. Also, Enron behaved in criminally fraudulent ways, which for a business, is the beginning of the end. So Enron does not provide a free market comparison.

I would only add: The US system is not perfect ... we are not nearly capitalist enough!
