What about people who cannot obtain insurance because of health reasons. They once may have had it but lost their job and cannot obtain individual coverage.

I am not talking about the cost ( which is another issue) but just be able to obtain it.

I used to think it should all be left to private sector but it has been and there has been no solution to date.

It's great to sit back and say the government should not be in health care when one has insurance or can obtain. And again I am not talking about the cost. What is the solution.

Left to the private sector (the market)?!?!? HA!

There are over 2,000 mandated "must cover" items on a health insurance policy. That alone throws it out of "the market".
