Well I don't know about you, but I would first move for SINGLE PAYER. There are those who believe in the free market. It has failed medicine miserably: there are now a plethora or "insurance providers" all extracting "their cut" for their administrative services while reducing the payment to the WORKERS/PHYSICIANS.
From what I have seen, Medicare sets the standard for payment rates, and all other insurers follow that, so what does it really matter WHERE YOUR PAYMENT is coming from if the amount paid is THE SAME minus the administrative overhead for dealing with 20 different insurance companies.
I'm not sure about "RILING" up the patients; because most of them will be out of work and on some form of government assistance for health care.
I will try to keep the politics out of it but the reality is that those of us from the 3rd world have ALWAYS known about the devastating effect "capitalism" has had on our countries. Unfortunately, Americans, myself now included, are now seeing it first hand. Globalization would be fine if everyone had to meet the same standards, but it doesn't work that way...so the American worker is expected to compete for same wages as a worker in Mexico and yet maintain his standard of living.
Soon, very soon, our healthcare will come from India and China via telemedicine.
