The US Tax Code is 75 thousand pages long, The US Postal Service is broke, fraud and waste are rampant in Medicare which is also going broke. The predicted nat'l debt in now estimated to be TWO TRILLION dollars higher in a decade than previously estimated.

We all surely agree that all American citizens should have access to health care.

Unfortunately, the American public simply has no faith in the US gov'ts ability to improve the status quo in a cost efficiant and reasonable way. In fact, I believe most Americans believe the gov't will simply screw things up even more and it will turn into a quagmire like the US Tax Code.
