note that obamacare isn't socialism by any stretch of the imagination, and that isn't good for those that want socialism. it also isn't good for people who want free-market. it's the worst of both worlds.

I never remotely suggested that our current system is good, or working as it should. I think it sucks. I also take note of how bad a job our government does at running...pretty much anything they try to run (possible exception to NASA). I also note the stories from countries that have socialism. Everyone loves it because it pays for the doctor when they have a something minor or chronic. Then I see the stories of the people dying on waiting lists because they can't get the procedure done in time when it would have been done in America. Due to this, I've come to the perfectly reasonable conclusion that I don't want either our system or socialism. There is another option, and that is to actually fix some of the major problems in our system.
