Our mishmash healthcare system is ridiculous. We have employers, individuals, and various government agencies funding piecemeal programs that serve a limited number of people.

Since govt already accounts for 2/3 of healthcare spending through Medicare, Medicaid, Tricare, VHA, SCHIP, and IHS, is there any point in pretending we're not going to end up with a single program covering everyone eventually? (Actually, given all the programs, it's surprising anyone manages to not have healthcare these days.)

The only unanswered question is what form our national healthcare program will take.
