We spend more for our health care than any other industrialized country.  Part of the reason that we can't insure everyone is because of our astronomical costs.  And with insurance companies raising there rates as much as 43% just this year, we will soon be spending the bulk of our national income on health care.

The problem is the total that we spend.  Anything that doesn't attack that problem is worse than a waste of time.  We're going broke, and our health care expenses are a large part of the problem.
