What's wrong? A for-profit health care industry. It puts health care out of the price range of 1 in 6 Americans and treats the other 5 out of 6 like they're money bags. They'll use basically any excuse that's legally defensible to deny care, they refuse to treat people that have "preexisting conditions" (most people do), and they allow people under their care to die more often than most people think. Put simply, the health of an individual is too important to entrust to a for-profit entity.
How would I reform health care? I'd create a universal single payer system and make it compulsory, paying for it through an immediate progressive tax increase.
