It seems $400 billion we're already paying in tax dollars is a heck of a lot, and would manage most of our basic medical care.

That's $4,000 per year per household BEFORE any private insurance. Average Joe's household pays through wages or directly another $4000/year, or more. That's $7k-$10k, an unbelievable amount, considering most people are healthy.

I know one thing: it isn't the docs who are getting the extra money.

I certainly don't trust the administration or Congress to fix this.

It has to be a public referendum of some sort, maybe at the state-by-state level, where there's a shred of representation left.
