But needing an annual emergency fix for cuts based on an obsolete formula that everyone agrees is wrong, but nobody will fix, is an insane way to run a health care system.

If Medicare is so insane, why should we think the government would do better with a new system? It might not make the same mistakes but there are plenty of new mistakes to be made. How about we fix Medicare and Medicaid, making both more cost-effective, and otherwise well run, before we move on to try to cover everyone else with a new government program.
