Reply #17: Except we have had 1000 different "models" already "tried" by insurance ..

[David Sky]

companies over the years. NONE of them covered what needs to be covered, young adults just out of school without a job yet, women who are poor, children who are poor, people with previous health conditions.

We have "experimented" long enough, the time for experimentation is OVER! All modern western and many eastern industrialized countries have models that WORK BETTER THAN the US private health care markets have worked for the last 50 years!

People by the millions also move from state to state, for their jobs, their family responsibilities, e.g. taking care of elderly relatives, or to start fresh in a new career. Having 50 competing sets of rules and regulations has already proven to be unworkable.
