(14,492 posts)I think the result we would like to see will require the eventual dismantling and rebuilding of a huge complex industry, many parts of which should never have been allowed to happen. Changes will have to come very slow and methodical to avoid disturbances in existing care and avoid massive wrong-headed political backlash.
The existing system is far too complex, with layer after layer they've added to increase profits and to insure it survives any effort to simplify it with government-sponsored programs. The sick, the poor, the disabled and seniors are paying the price every day for this greed and complexity. I see it happening real-time with family and friends.
We Americans are proficient at building complex things that seem to be a good idea at the time, but not so good at reversing course and rebuilding for the good of all the people.
