Affordable, improved health care is possible. There are scores of first world countries with working universal health care, better overall health statistics then we have, and economies that work. We could do it right, and I hope that we choose to do it right. The ObamaCare plan may not complete the job, but it has helped, and is a fulfilled promise to attack this growing problem. Killing the preexisting conditions exclusion clauses is a great start.
The health care insurance industry, especially when seen in relation to the American litigation industry - even the programs run by extraordinarily conscientious companies- is the enemy of true health care reform and the root cause of skyrocketing health care costs.
I'm an independent voter. I'll cast my independent votes for Democrats until Republicans actually take on Health Care reform as an agenda item. By that I mean, making it happen, not lying to us all and trying very hard to stop health care reform because their RNC masters are hopelessly lost in the pockets of the industries most concerned with maintaining the status quo.

Britain's health care system is being criminally eroded by our current government, but at least (for now) we still have one.
Our government is trying to drve us towards what the USA has - i.e. more private healthcare for people who can afford it to queue-jump and have access to more expensive treatment. It'#s not a good direction to travel in. For the moment there is still a safety net in place.
This is what some of our senor health-care officials fear. http://www.independent.co.uk/opinion/le
