The firms take billions of dollars out of the U.S. healthcare wallet as profits, while imposing enormous administrative costs on doctors, hospitals, employers and patients. They've introduced complexity into the system at every level. Why protect them?

I really don't understand the American people. Are they so ignorant of other developed countries such as Canada, Great Britain, France and Europe's public health care systems that they seriously think their system is better? Are they so in love with capitalism, that they want to hand over their health care to for profit multinational corporate interests?

Thanks for a very informative article Tom. The same kind of debate is currently raging in South Africa.

They have made it so complex it is on the same lines as the IRS. Try getting a fair shake there.
