Or look outside the USA at dozens of other countries that may have some problems with their healthcare systems, but aren't anywhere close to as completely fucked up.

Read the comments and listen to the debates, and understand that it isn't going to get better until Americans believe that the availability of healthcare shouldn't be solely dependent on income, and that "freedom" around payment and insurance shouldn't be the primary value.
