The problem is, a solid majority of the public wants this, too. Trump will win big if he can come up with a GOP version that delivers quality care through a government-run program modeled on a successful model (like Singapore's) that:

1) Continues to allow private "concierge" medicine,
2) Eliminates trial lawyer profiteering from malpractice suits.
3) Punishes hypochondriacs and high-risk lifestyle practitioners by restricting their access to the system.

Part 3 will be the hardest part for Democrats to swallow, since so many of their most active base supporters fall into that category. But the public would strongly support such a system - and the party who delivered it.

Gonna be hard for a lot of FReepers to swallow as well. I don't know about you, but I don't want a bunch of government Wellness Nannies sticking their noses into everything I eat, drink or (God forbid) smoke.
