Meanwhile, US health care is one of the few industries in this country where no competition exists, as evidenced by continual increases in costs

What doesn't continually increase in cost? My dad sold hamburgers 6 for a dollar back in the 60s. Today, a burger & fries will cost you 7 bucks. Everything cost more.

Health care cost more because we're getting so much more. People who, 30 years ago, would have died at 60 are now living into their 80s. That's the principal reason medicine cost more today, the the "competition" argument is a blatant liberal lie.

And Dems are about to pass a reform bill that will shave tens of billions off the national costs to support health care,

There is no bill under consideration that will save money. Not one, and certainly not the turkey that just passed in the House.

That you believe otherwise is a testament to your own gullibility; anyone who has even superficially considered the legislation recognizes that it ADDS to the cost of healthcare, NOT reduces.

And what is the GOP doing? Nothing but obstruction as usual.

The GOP has been cut out of the process. They have no say, whatsoever. Not only can they NOT contribute, but they can't obstruct as you have claimed. You foolishly installed an undivided government and the result is extremist liberal policy that is the most fiscally irresponsible in history.
