At the root of the issue it isn’t Obama’s plan or the Republican’s ideas that need ‘fixing’ – the problem is the way Americans view healthcare:

Let me ask this: should healthcare be considered ‘infrastructure’ in the sense that it is a necessary part of a successful society (think: roads, schools, etc)? If the answer is ‘yes’ (as I believe), then it should be regulated like other parts of our societal infrastructure, to take the emphasis off of private institutions making a financial profit at the expense of the public. This is not to say we would take away the free market. The public sector still develops (and competes) in creating technologies and systems used in our infrastructure.
