In America, to be sure, the health care industry is one that certainly needs fixes, but the proper path is NOT nationalization. Tort reform and tax incentives would be a good start.

The proper path towards fixing health care involves shifting towards portable HDHPs and portable Health Savings Accounts [consolidate the other tax-advantaged medical accounts into the HSAs] with simplified billing codes. Oh, and instead of taxing health care premiums, just allow individuals and households who buy health insurance to deduct in full the cost of the plan and claim credits for the Medicare and FICA taxes paid on the amount.

Agreed as well. And BTW, sorry about the double-post everyone.
