D'espana, I've unfortunately had plenty of experience with the American (and Brazilian) medical systems. My father went through experimental drug treatment in the 90s when he was dying from lung cancer, after undergoing treatment due to exposure to Agent Orange/Etc during Vietnam, and so forth. Mother has a slew of diseases and I grew up having to drag her to the hospital 3-4 times a week. Not counting my own birth defect and health issues.
I've spent most of my life in hospitals, doctors, and clinics and I'm truly saddened by the general state of our medical system.
Screw health insurance reforms, what we need is to rework the medical system, not do the equivalent of bailing it out by authorizing all sorts of health insurance projects that'll just throw government money at a corrupt system.
That's all the government seems to do these days.
"Hey, the People are complaining this isn't working well. Do you know how to fix it? No? Anyone have any ideas? !@#$. Maybe if we throw money at the problem, it'll fix itself..."
...Right... Like it worked with banking, big business, the real estate market, and the EU? >_>
