Well, I'm not surprised. Personally, I think I'd find a completely private system far more agreeable if it was backed by rigorous anti-trust laws. Small business is the lifeblood of capitalism.

Well, if you bring in a multi-payer system, the government could set a fair price anyway.

Either way, with stuff like this, my ideal system would be co-operatives and small health business with public health insurance for those who are basically uninsurable.

So why allow a private insurance industry if its just there to soak up the profits and leave all the expense to the government?

It's not there for profits. It's there to insure those who can be insured. Those who can't... who else is meant to take care of them?
