I'd bet my last quarter that 90% of those folks would love a moderate republican to support, rather than being asked to wander around with doom and gloom in their hearts and minds.

Nothing that has been done will achieve what I've emphasized in your post.
The US should have done what Taiwan did. Take the best aspects of what Japan, the UK, Canada, Germany, and France did... combine them, and bam. THEN and ONLY then would we have a good health care system costs-wise. Tort reform may help, but it wouldn't do anything. JUST tort reform won't do shit - and JUST making everyone buy health insurance definitely won't do shit. When a hospital has to pay a 1000% and higher mark-up on a bunch of things, there's an issue. Yet Wal-Mart barely even puts a mark up on their Plasma TV's.
