(wow, this is like 4 topics where we get to go here?)
I don't think there's any easy way to address the "gaps".. like the prices, bureaucracy, coverage, and quality without a lot of government intervention. They're about to get their toes stepped on if there's going to be real healthcare reform, no matter how the government goes about doing it.
To me its a question of would you rather throw tax money away into a system that the private sector controls the bottom line on, or would you rather throw money away into a system that the government controls the bottom line on.. Do you trust the government to do te right thing with tax dollars, or do you trust the private sector to do the right thing with tax dollars?
No matter what, there's going to be "more government control" over the private sector in the healthcare industry. Or there's simply not going to be healthcare reform and everything will stay the same for people who are currently insured.
