to the out-of-control healthcare system

Uh huh. The best health care in the world, doing more for more people with better results than anything at any other time in history. What's out of control is state governments dropping mandates on insurance companies requiring them cover many, many things, and, thus, increasing the cost of health care. The problem isn't the insurance companies but the state and federal governments that screw them over.

The best health care in the world...

I agree with your post. Tort reform and allowing insurance carriers to compete nationwide are two things government should be focusing on. Maybe there is another thing or two, but basically beyond that government should butt out.
