I don't think there's any way to get there politically. Too many people think that health care should grow on trees. But if we wanted to do it we'd go back to an insurance model where we bought major medical policies against the risk of big, bad things happening and we'd use other mechanisms for the regular stuff.

That describes my health care plan. I have a high deductible, an out of pocket max and good coverage for serious crises. But I can afford the risk...many folks can't.
