If that's the problem you want to address, I would think the first step, then, ought to be an analysis of why it is our health care system costs more, don't you?

Why do you think it is and what specifically do you think any of this proposed legislation does to address it?

Doing nothing is cheaper than allowing people to have good health. Is that the direction you had in mind?

In the broadest sense of the term, our health care "system" is broken (system in quotes because it isn't the best term here, but still used because its the common term, and I can't think of an obvious and short substitute), but only in the same sense that almost anything that replaces it is also likely to be broken.
