The fundamental idea is that we should NOT be coming up with some constitutional convention or other "intelligent solution that works for everyone." There is no "intelligent solution that works for everyone" in health care any more than there is for any other human need.

I posted a list of ideas in my blog that would go a long way toward unchaining the marketplace to address some of these issues. But those currently running the government will not accept any solutions that require them to let go of power, and demand only solutions that give them more. They don't want to deregulate interstate insurance laws. They don't want to address Medicare's problems first. They don't want to allow states to try their own ideas and see what works best.

This is a power grab. Why is this so difficult to see? Anyone seriously concerned with actually delivering the best care to the most people would be looking at a much wider range of ideas than a government health care monopoly.

This program was supposed to be shot through the legislative process before the summer recess, and before anybody knew what was happening. Thank God we have wider sources of information than we used to. Do you realize how hard it used to be just to get a copy of a piece of legislation for the average citizen?
