When solving problems one does not come to valid solutions without a thorough look at why past attempts have failed. If people aren't willing to do that, then it is typically because they don't have good answers to the problems, and so instead they ignore them in the hopes that this time it will be different. There are fundamental problems with putting the responsibility for individual healthcare on the Federal government's plate and no one has really ever explained how a government that is in Trillion Dollar debt, with a SS retirement plan that is close to insolvent, and a medicare/medicaid program that eats up a significant portion of the budget outlays, can afford to take on such a huge financial burden.
Good post, well said.
