But if the problem is the insurance companies, then how can the solution be the insurance companies?
Government should never compete with the private sector. Regulation though is needed, and often. The insurance companies are all working together to keep prices high in order to keep profits high. There's no competition between them, they set their prices based on how much they can scrape off the general public, then do everything they can to avoid paying out claims, even when they should.

This is what will actually make the difference: Health care is each everyone's own responsibility. We can't leave it up to companies and governments to do what is right for us. Until the populace comes together as a group to overthrow the regime, we are under their control, whoever "they" are. It's up to us, noone else.
