A very interesting point which I don't see mentioned often, is what was our health care system like before the massive government intervention of Medicare and Medicaid? The good old days prior to that, I even remember doctors making house calls. But seriously, given that the government already controls completely 50% of the health industry and has onerous regulations on the rest, wouldn't the idea that perhaps it is the government intervention itself causing the problem an idea that would be given some credence? There seems to be an oft-repeating and equally destructive pattern of government causing a problem, then trying to solve it by increasing government intervention.
