"I don’t think we’ll ever be able to fix the current health care system until the current system blows up." - Pastor Bill

I think it would be difficult to get a much better healthcare system for the reasons you state, but I think a great first step to getting reasonable healthcare system would be to allow a public option people could pay for. Calculate the cost of adding individuals to Medicare, allow individuals (or employers) to pay for it just like they pay for a health insurance from an insurance company. Heck, they could probably even add a small percentage on top of the cost to help reduce the deficit. It would likely be one of the most popular options as it would be cheaper and better care.
