Fighting this problem from the doctor's side is noble (this is an uplifting speech) but it seems like it would only ever be drops in the bucket, impossible to get the majority of people to voluntarily act like the speaker's "positive deviants." Most things I read say that the private insurance market can be disrupted by the introduction of a big enough non-profit offering insurance (be it government backed or not). It looks like it might even happen given the signs from Washington recently. And I have no moral problem with the government offering an insurance plan as long as it is voluntary to participate and the lion's share is paid for by its participants. Sounds like there is a chance of something good happening but I fear the perversions. Like a lot of the government's food and health policies, this is going to get severely messed up, yet again bowing to powerful lobbies etc. instead of focusing on real public health goals like... health.
