If we are going to have any form of universal health insurance, universal catastrophic insurance would be my preference. I'm not sure I like the idea, but it doesn't strike as being as objectionable as trying to nationalize all or most health care costs.

"It would be based on a goal of providing catastrophic coverage for all US citizens. Individuals would be enrolled at birth under a mandate."

I believe that would require a Constitutional Amendment.

"Everything else falls into either self-pay or private health insurance."

That sounds much more reasonable than Mary's proposed unfettered government control of medicine.
