I generally agree with you but I'm for a single payer system like Canada. Because eventually, you have to stop looking for the ideal system and pick a good one

I generally agree with you but I'm for a single payer system like Canada. Because eventually, you have to stop looking for the ideal system and pick a good one. This has been talked about since Bill Clinton was president.
I run across this all the time with my brother. He's conservative. He's in his 50s. He says, I don't think health care is in a good place, but we can't do X, Y, or Z. It's never what we can do. It's always what we can't. He offers no solutions.
When you're in a privileged position its easy to say we must wait for the perfect solution. When you aren't it's easy to rush to a solution. However, like I said: this has been debated for over TWO DECADES in the United States. It's been enough time. If you can't think of a solution you like, it's not going to happen in a reasonable timeframe.

I suspect what we'll wind up with will be a two tier system (kind of what we have now) that covers almost everyone, but this system won't make anyone happy and the debate will continue.
