There are many countries that use this sort of system. The government is willing to absorb the debts of banks to fix the system. It only makes sense that it do the same for healthcare. Greed is killing this country. High prices is greed. It would be nice if government could come in and fix the prices of healthcare, but I imagine it would end up a mess of lawsuits. $30 a visit/$10 meds/$100 surgery sounds fair to me. The rest the government can pick up. I think if government has to absorb this debt ,than they have more bargaining power with the medical industry to bring prices back down to planet earth.
