Our priorities are so screwed up. We could easily have all the healthcare we need for such a small fraction of 21st Century Human Civilization's total resources that to not provide the best care to all is unforgivable. This should come before everything else. Nobody should have a private jet until everyone has medicine.

Beyond life-or-death issues, let capitalism squeeze all the efficiency it can out of a (well-regulated) marketplace. But healthcare is not just another marketplace. Don't believe the bugaboos that scientists will stop trying to find cures for diseases simply because insurance and drug companies are no longer making obscene profits. Those smart talented people didn't go into the field for fame or fortune, they did so because maybe their mom died of something awful and they are going to war against it. Stop turning their life's devotion to helping humanity into an argument that keeps their work away from people who need it.

Most actual research is already subsidized by various governments and universities anyway. These middlemen companies are just parasites buying up patents and hording discoveries for profit. They spend far more on advertising and administration than anything related to research.

Americans have been lied to their entire lives by insurance-backed organizations who have no conscience when it comes to making up numbers and spreading false information in very official looking reports and through paid-for public officials. The very idea that putting a for-profit industry between patients and doctors makes things cheaper is so counter-intuitive and absurd it should should set off anyone's bullshit detector, but they just have to muddy the waters, create enough doubt and confusion, to avoid a political majority large enough to challenge their scheme.

Always remember you're a member of a species that will shoot someone for a pair of shoes. Then it's easy to accept that better-dressed villains will twist the truth for greater profit. Though to be fair, most of the insurance scam supporters are probably so indoctrinated they just don't know they're spreading misinformation, like FOX-News audiences who argue Saddam had something to do with 9/11.
