I thought I'd replied to your comment, Linda! Sorry about that. Interstate competition would help by itself, I think, because then you'd be able to get more specialized groups. The trick would still be finding a way to get private insurance companies to insure individuals who have health issues. As some have pointed out, they will, for a price. But say someone gets cancer a few times - their premiums with any company are easily going to be more than $1000 per month if they can even get insurance at all. Goodness!

I also like the idea of doctors donating 10% of time for those who don't have health care and the idea of insurance vouchers for those who cannot pay for health care. There are a lot of great ideas floating out there and it's too bad the government is bent on this vague controversial program.
