This won't work, either.

No system that divorces the payor from the one demanding the service will work.

It is very difficult for politicians to get rid of socialism, because someone will suffer in the short term.

Obama's new Czar wants to emulate the long-failed British National Health System here in the USA.

Interesting enough Greece was "recommended" during their bailout of privatizing their healthcare system. We'll probably see other western European nations follow suit as their vaunted unsustainable socialized healthcare systems are in same boat so to speak.

Here I thought the current health care bill would be overturned before it went into action. Its good to know that our economy will crumble, but eventually, maybe 50 years from now, a smart politician will think of a "unqiue" health care plan where we privatize health care, but regulate the giant monstrosities (HMOs) to prevent denials of payment where indicated, and we distribute money to patients, doctors, and hospitals, rather than investors and CEO's bank accounts. In our lifetime folks. In our lifetime.

We'll see the errors of our ways soon enough. Unfortunately, we'll be deep into our 401ks / defaulted medicare before the mistake is realized.

YES WE CAN!
