But hey, I guess some healthcare is better than no healthcare when you're on the way down. Too bad Americans don't expect a better system. Its sad really, because they could do SO much better.

As for the first part, they've been laughing all the way to the bank years if not decades by primarily charging expensive premiums for coverage they never had to pay out on. Anybody could get rich offering insurance for something you quite often wouldn't have to spend a dime for.
Secondly, this is a good first step in the right direction. I don't think anyone was foolhardy enough to believe all your system's problems would be cured at once. This system provides insurance to everyone and over the years can be ammended to improve it. This is not the end game.
