'Fixing' that system will take political courage to alienate the medical special interests including the medical insurance companies, and the willingness to ask the voters for the necessary funds. In our political system, that's a no-win situation.

In our system, it lacks the clarity of the old Perot "here's how it works" briefings and it has lacked a credible advocate, or if you prefer, a good salesman. The idea of a need for reform is recognized by quite a bit of the population . . . and while the AMA & HMO roadblocks may seem monolithic, there is nothing so dangerous as an idea.
