This is really a complicated issue. I've written about three different posts for this subject but none have effectively captured my thoughts/feelings. These have included supporting notations from the AMA, Phrma, newspapers, government studies, etc but were just too long and convoluted to post with any expectation of discussion.
Suffice to say that the current system is flawed. There are likely too many doctors, insurance companies are capitalizing on the perception of increasing malpractice claims, the presence of too many lawyers encourages them to play the system in hopes of nice pay days, pharmaceutical companies are inefficient and the US market is looked upon all of them as the last great land of opportunity for profits. There is a perception that too many people are without insurance when, in fact, treatment is available for those without insurance. Finally, healthcare controlled entirely by the Government would be a disaster.
