You have no evidence to support any of your claims, sad.  As a percentage of GDP, the U.S. spends at least 50% more than any other industrialized country.  Wages were not keeping pace with rises in healthcare costs, but you know that, right?  Likewise, profitability at health insurers was not going down.  "Profits" for trial lawyers, there is no such thing.  You do know that malpractice claims are responsible for less than 2% of healthcare costs, right?  "The longer it lasts the worse it sucks," and yet none would trade their system for ours, but that's because you are wrong.  Maybe when the Republicans come to the table with any interest in governing, improvements can be made.
