Here's my thing. They institute the HMO Act, which favored a few corporations...years later they repeal it, but they still have many legislative favors for these few companies--prevent real competition. Then it's all blamed on the free-market, as though that's really the free-market.
Ultimately both parties are full of people that either like the status quo of half-ass control or there super crazy and want full control. So the handful of geniune (free-market) people are left with little or no support.
It's eventual that medicare will die. Medicaid is a separate issue in itself, and I think the state government can properly debate over this, but most likely won't agree over it. I adhor conservatives that think small government is good, but 'maybe medicine should be socialized'...that sort of thinking is absolutely silly. Let's just say I don't see that often, though.
