Here's a nice graph for those who think drastic changes aren't needed:

Healthcare funding per capita:

USA: $4,600

UK: $1,700

Who says they don't need to change?

If we make it a government program, and it now cost the US $12,000 per person, is that change you want?

Well, for some reason the United Kingdom pays three times less for healthcare than the United States.  Their government has more control over healthcare, which is a major factor in it.

I pesronally know doctors, and many of them are oppsoed to the bill because they fear that it will cause specialists will make less money.  This is a good thing because there is a shortage in primary care doctors and specialists make too much money as is.
