At this point in the game the focus has to become cost control. Pandora box is open there's no going back so we've got to curve the rapid increase in the cost of healthcare or the system will bust under the pressure of debt. As much as I hate it I just don't see how we can curve cost without nationalizing massive amounts of the healthcare industry. That's been the problem all along you can't mandate participation and then ignore the markets inability to control cost. Once participation is mandated it's only a matter of time until you have to nationalize the product or the cost will outgrow demand at accelerated rates.


I know lots of people think that's the solution is to nationalize our healthcare I doubt it'll work to well especially with a population our size but we will see. I give it within 10 years the entire system will be forced into nationalization, you can't keep subsidies up forever.
