>>yet we seem unable to have an intelligent conversation to solve what is really a fairly simple problem.<<

GST, i would put forth that the true problem is not simple at all.

healthcare isn't the problem. rather, everyone wanting to get something for free is the problem. healthcare is where this problem manifests itself.

at the end of the day, we all have to pay our way or go into debt.

the politicians figured out we can go into debt and pass it on to the unborn - so those politicians who give us lots of free stuff (or so we think) get elected.

of course the baby boomers want government healthcare now - someone will be paying for them. when it was their turn to pay for others, it wasn't a hot topic.

the best system is where *only* catastrophic coverage and healthfare (welfare for healthcare) exists.

other than that, pay your own out of your own pocket.

one could make arguments for preventative care being in the public interest and subsidized to a certain degree, but people have to pay their own bills or the system breaks.

the current system is broken, but we've just given the pieces to the next generation.
