Whether the number of uninsured were 147 million or 7 million, most if not all libertarians/conservatives would be opposed to any government remedy. That's pretty defeatist. I agree that there is a natural reluctance to upend our whole system. Part of the reluctance comes from the upenders throwing a bogus number around--claiming that 47 million have no access to health care. If the parties just calmed down and quit exaggerating, you might be surprised at the problem solving that would occur.
