CBO predicts that within a generation one of every three dollars contributing to the GDP will be going to healthcare? That given current trends, by 2050 the debt will be running at 400% of GDP? That doesn't sound good.

Here's my healthcare solution: let people who can't afford to live, die. Seriously. We tolerate the rich getting better everything now - except when it comes to healthcare. Why? I don't have a right to the same quality of lawyer as a rich person should I be charged with a crime, why should I have a right to the same quality of doctor? You can't afford the consequences of sitting around on your ass 24/7 eating potato chips and pizza - then don't do it.

Cruelty is a great motivator.
