How Do We Fix This?

I believe healthcare is a right, not a luxury reserved for the rich. I think people who want to keep the current system are CRAZY and misinformed. However, all the ideology in the world can't fill in the details of how we're going to make it happen.

I believe single-payer would be best; or if private companies want to provide health insurance, it should be non-profit only. Co-ops are a decent idea, I think; except that a system of co-ops still leaves out millions of people who can't afford to chip in. A public option, expanding Medicare, is the absolute minimum of what we should guarantee American citizens at this point.

Anyone with ideas as to HOW we accomplish the goal of providing healthcare for all is welcome to post those ideas as comments here. If the supposedly great minds congregated in Washington D.C. can't come up with something decent, the rest of us are going to have to figure it out and then try to get them to adopt our ideas!
