scenario is status quo so any action would be good action. Government involvement isn't always bad- Goldman Sachs made over 5 billion first 2 quarters despite taking bailout money. Those who are competent prosper, those who aren't fail. What's more captailist than that? Those insurance companies who treat their people poorly will lose customers, those who are competitive with a gov backed plan will prosper.
And it'll self destruct if it's not fixed soon. People can't afford healthcare anymore. Most bankruptcies are due to illness and healthcare. Most of those had insurance, not because they were living beyond their means. Insurance is designed to push people into the crack called "preexisting condition", not take care of them. And those without insurance get squeezed since HMOs negotiate lower rates.
