It'll never be perfect, and I'm fully aware of that.

But that doesn't change that the current system doesn't work. I'm not even a patriotic person, nor a political one. I don't actually have much faith that it'll be perfect, that it'll answer all the questions and solve all the problems--but again, the current system, as it is, certainly isn't the answer.

Even if all that happens is some regulation of the private insurance companies, I'll be placated. The status quo just doesn't work.
