The thing is, it's a reasonable wager that if you want a sustainable repair to modes of health care finance, it's going to have to take the form Milton Friedman recommended twenty years ago: public financing for about half the sum of costs, but public financing which only kicks-in when you've reached a high deductible. Below that deductible, it's a fee-for-service market where you pay out of pocket (like you do for car repair). Imagine the reaction of the congressional Democratic caucus and their media auxilliaries were any Republican president to propose such a plan (which they're not going to do unless there is some horrid crisis).
