Though on other side, the question all Americans should be asking themselves is: do private insurers have better resume???
Before WWII I say they had a decent record then we got FDR's wage and price controls which set everything in motion.
One can easily bash gov't - bashing health insurers might backfire (who like all the big businesses have their hand in pretty much everything). And if gov't does shitty job, one can always vote for opposition/independent - you rarely if ever have much choice when dealing with health insurers.
The problem with this is once you create a hugh new bureaucracy those people employed by it aren't about to vote against their own lively hood.
So the lesson is don't do crime, especially if you're poor cause then they are really going to stick it you.
Unless your completely innocent in which case, get fucked.
Waste not, get your budget cut next year.
