While i agree that government run healthcare is a potential nightmare, leaving it completely to a capitalist free-market would only encourage insurance companies to reap bigger profits. Health care isn't like other consumer products, not even food. If need be you can live on bread and peanut butter for a long time. There is no cheap work-around for a heart attack or broken limb or cancer. The insurance companies will have no reason to lower prices because they don't have to be competitive. Illness and calamity will drive their customers to them.
And feel free to call me a socialist (or worse) but what's so bad about looking out for one another? Yes, there are bound to be abuses (as there is in every strucure that envolves humans), but is it really necessary to cut off people i need for the reprobates who abuse the system?
In conclusion, i don't have an answer, just a clear vision that neither of these solutions are even close to perfect
