No, nobody's advocating that people be left in the street... but when it comes to somebody paying to look after them... nobody's volunteering for that either. You can call that what you want but from where I sit, in the US... I basically see it as nobody really giving a hoot.
Personally I don't see why it matters is something is run by government or a large corporation. Both tend to have entrenched bureaucracies. The difference is in how they are governed and hence differ in terms of those expectations upon management. In one you have a profit centered business; the other a bunch of thieves elected by voters looking to enrich their own lot by electing the thief that will best serve their interests. The way I see it, if we elected people who worked to improve the system and make good decisions instead of pandering to voters with their own money... then you might see things move ahead. That is an endemic problem throughout government that is not limited to healthcare.
As I've said before, I don't think the US political system is really set up to operate or manage anything for the simple reason that it is too close to the voter. One critical distinction we have in our system is that once we elect the devils we're stuck with them for up to 5 years... so if they play their game right they can do all their dirty work in the first couple years and then have a couple years for people to forget what they did... and if it works out by the end of the term, they might have the chance to say they did something right and have people believe them.
You live in a constant state of election of some sort so nobody really dares to do anything knowingly unpopular.

Today's Featured Article - Seeing an Old Friend - by Joe Evans. Dad had a concrete contracting business starting in 1960. One of his first pieces of equipment was a Ferguson TO-35 with a Davis loader. Dad replaced the TO-35 with a MF 202 Workbull, essentially an industrialized Ferguson 35 I am told. Dad bought the 202 new in 1962, and I recall quite clearly going to the dealer with him to sign for it. ... [Read Article]
