He asks at the end - what is YOUR solution? [over 100 comments follow]
Maybe a good solution would start with education, actually informing the public (and politicians) about what insurance IS and is not.
So long as people confuse insurance with simple financing or cost sharing they will continue to demand broken insurance schemes.
Practically, we ran into the warnings about the problems of Obamacare. Even just going back to the status quo ante would be an improvement while we work on one of the many better solutions we had at the time, this time with a more informed public.
First, do no harm. Obamacare did harm.
