This kind of misses the point. We can't afford the out of control insurance system; however, history implies that we could afford private care. Why don't we at least attempt to fix the insurance industry instead of hiking taxes and spending even more money we don't have? That just seems irresponsible given that current programs are either underfunded or dying.
