Sure, tax funded health care isn't perfect but why support such a fucked up system? The way insurance companies are run has to change if nothing else.

i have said this all along, there will never be a universal government run healthcare in the US.
simply put:
1. Healthcare industry/ pharmaceutical is biggest fiscal industry in US (even bigger than energy)
2. No person is going to spend 10 years in med school and run up $250K in school loans to get a middleclass income.
3. The only entity the US government is running with a reasonable success is the military.. a healthcare industry run by the government would be a disaster.
Instead the healthcare industry leaders will come up with their own reform, making somewhat of a universal program but in private companies, similar to Keiser making the cost reasonable to most americans...
btw, there are too many elections in the US, nothing ever gets done as there is another election around the corner and politicians are much to concerned with their popularity etc.
