Many Americans probably could not afford such a policy, .... So we need to change... It occurs to me that simply changing the method of paying, like from private to public, would not do the trick. The money would still have to come from somewhere - either from the taxpayer, or from deficit spending (for which we the people ultimately will pay anyway). The way to go is to identify causes of high costs, and then address them in an orderly fashion, eliminating waste and promoting efficiencies - not by ramming an undercooked bill through a one party Congress. It seems, however, that the latter is likely to be the case.
