text: I agree with that. "Small ball" isn't going to cut it. Right now all this is just exposing the problems with the system. Health care in America is very expensive. Either you have some people subsidizing others, with the wealthy paying the most, or you have many people without insurance and running up costs even higher by depending on emergency rooms. You can't cut the taxes and keep pre-existing conditions and subsidies. No one so far is addressing costs in a meaningful way.
