It's frustrating to see so much energy wasted in fragmenting health coverage solutions in the US. This makes it so costly, that it _looks_ like it's too expensive or inefficient, making right wing politicians justify the fact that it should be everyone for themselves. As a Canadian with full health coverage, without any special requirements except renewing a picture card every 5 years, this looks like a very dangerous situations for millions of poor people. And while the system isn't perfect, and we do have some wait list on special cases, most heavy or light illness get treated quickly. Even for the richer US citizens, it seems like a waste of time and a big overhead + legal battles looming on possible contract conflicts. In term of equality of chances for that "American dream", this looks like the biggest imbalance one can imagine, just beside education.
