  Exactly.  The good old "but its free" nonsense turns out to actually have enormous costs associated with it.  Whod have thunk it?  LOL.
  Health care needs fixing in numerous ways but just chucking huge piles of money at it will NOT fix anything.  It will just facilitate the abuse, red tape, overhead & current problems even more.
context: Vermont tried, they couldn't afford it
  California also tried but ran into funding issues 
  Seems like cost is the problem mostly
