It will be interesting to see how people react once all the details are released. I have a feeling this may just be the first of potentially many drafts.
Until the US frees itself from the practice of buying politicians votes. The cost will never go down. You have a service that will always get more expensive run by people who make more money by making it more expensive.

Hospitals, Drugs, Equipment, Insurance companies all take a slice off the top to pay shareholders. Great in a service where competition has a huge effect, awful when there is no competition. Build up the State Healthcare to a point where the Private owned are out of business.
