> ...eliminating the health insurance industry and moving to some form of socialized system...
I empathize with the struggles from the hassle and bloat. But what is it about socialized healthcare that is so dynamically opposed to insurance? In my experience insurance has a lot of attributes that mimic socialized healthcare: exclusivity to actual care, (intention of) spreading risk, and very very regulated.
Seems to me insurance is "socialized health care, lite version." But I'm willing to be persuaded otherwise.
