This great country will be in trouble if our government gets involved with even one person's insurance/health care. What percentage of American people go elsewhere for their health care??? What percentage of individuals come to this great land for treatment??? We need to 'fix' what we have. Of course I did not vote for the great Obama. The writing was on the wall for socialized medicine. It must not pass.

To fix healthcare we need to fix it. But how do we do that you ask, by fixing it. No socialism!

The current set of right-wingers are good a two things. Coming up with solutions to non-problems and coming up with non-solutions to problems.

It will?
Well, so much for Medicare. So much for Department of Veterans' Affairs hospitals, not to mention the military medical system. So much for the United States Public Health Service, the collection of any vital statistics concerning the incidence of different illnesses and mortality.
Since you speak of government generically and do not specify the federal government, so much for your cops and firefighters being trained as EMTs. Helicopters being very expensive machines, even before you put an RN, EMT and a commercial instrument or airline transport qualified pilot aboard, so much for any system of aerial emergency transport.
No more disability payments at any level of government. After all, by definition they are paid for reasons of physical or mental health. No more government sponsored student loans or grants to medical, nursing or hospital administration students. nor to students of any related profession. Nor to the schools.
The moment the framers of the Constitution put "promote the general welfare" in the preamble, they opened the door to government involvement in health care. All we're discussing now is what it should and should not do after it's walked on through.

I would start with the very core of the problem as I see it; malpractice suits which cause insurance rates to sky rocket. Government is not the answer.

Okay, good start. But malpractice suits are by definition heard in courts, so once again you have government involved at the outset. And limits on malpractice actions or damages must be imposed either by legislative or judicial rulings.
So, you end up with a situation where government is either necessarily the answer or is the only way a binding answer can be reached.
