Well, I was thinking a bit longer term. We are going to a single payer system (maybe with intermediaries as a fig leaf to keep the insurance companies happy, maybe not). We are going to a single payer system because that is the only politically aesthetic way to ration health care. That way, the US can get down the percentage of its GDP it spends on health care closer to the figure in socialized Europe.

As I said, I know you don't like it. One cannot always get what one wants.
