a) I didn't say "universal health care is the only way to solve these problems".

b) just divorce 'insurance' from being something which people expect to be tied to employment. whatever falls from that would likely be better.

Employer-tied health insurance is also my main irritation with the current system. How you feel about the health insurance situation in America is directly tied to how large / well off your employer is.

I think that would be the most painful change to healthcare in America, but I don't think anything can improve until it happens.
