I agree 100%. Here's the problem: we're probably not going to see it happen in our lifetimes. Second problem: we are currently dealing with opposition that, unlike the opposition when the current bill was passed, is unified and completely unwilling to compromise to get anything done. The only way we'll get what we want is with a president + 2/3ds of house and senate gone to liberal democrats & progressives.

Work on that.

By the way, we do have national health care for certain people. Medicare, Medicaid, CHP, the VA and I think there's one other are all single-payor plans. My simple fix is to make everyone eligible for Medicaid. Period. This would eliminate the need for Medicare and CHP altogether. It would also eliminate most private health insurance. It would not, unfortunately, get rid of HMOs.
