I agree that it's broken from the consumer's point of view. But, conservatives aren't defending anything. They acknowledge that the system is broken, because there's no free market to speak of.

It's an attempt to reconfigure and eventually bankrupt the health care insurance industry. And both parties are to blame, ultimately.
