>I see we will always disagree. I STRONGLY disgree, and while I hope that it never comes to pass here in the U.S., I am afraid that the U.S. may be moving towards your ideas and will eventually be there whether I like it or not.

What I'm afraid of is that even if any sort of a health system is once built here, it will turn out to be a negative proof-of-concept, as in "haven't we told you it can't work?".

I've seen systems built on such premises, where majority of players weren't sold on the idea at all, and they botched it massively, just to make their point. So, I'm not even holding my fingers crossed. It's only "I wish".
