This is a tough nut to crack, as it is also responsible for the problems we see in the socialist system. I think the key has man aspects. Let the free markets work, by eliminating mandates and opening a spectrum of care choices. Realize that the system cannot be all things to all people. Reduce the "deep pocket" litigation culture. Remind people that they are ultimately responsible for their own well being. Preaching personal responsibility is tough, as there are plenty of sob stories out there.

Catron and those like him bitch incessantly about the system and everyone else's proposed fixes, but suggest none of their own. So how do you solve them?

They are unpeople. His take on crisis is strictly reserved for other countries.

Telling us horror stories if we don't go to the mysterious "free market", however you define it? Catron, aren’t you always on here telling us that healthcare is in crisis, yourself?
