Mr. Bley, rather than simply criticize Mr. Brauchler perhaps you would present your solution to the nations healthcare issue? Please be specific and honest regarding costs and coverage. BTW, simply stating that other countries can do it is neither specific nor honest. The US federal government through funding and administration currently manages nearly two thirds of healthcare in America. 

"Tax-funded expenditures accounted for 64.3 percent of U.S. health spending – about $1.9 trillion – in 2013, according to new data published today in the American Journal of Public Health. The Affordable Care Act will push that figure even higher by 2024, when government’s share of U.S. health spending is expected to rise to 67.3 percent." http://www.pnhp.org/news/2016/january/government-funds-nearly-two-thirds-of-us-health-care-costs-american-journal-of-pub

Specifically and honestly why would expanding federal government control to the remaining third of national healthcare be an improvement?
