What would happen is the President and the leaders of Congress, should they wish to participate, met with CEO's of all major healthcare companies and challenged them to present a plan for free market health insurance? If the deal was for government to completely withdraw from the market, what would happen? Would they want Medicare and the revenue stream provided into this fund and presently collected by government? Would they be able to spread their risks so that pre-existing conditions would have little or no impact? Would the elimination of regulations provide better healthcare? Life insurance exists despite the pre-existing condition that we are all going to die. If the free market could increase their profits by funding research to cure deadly disease, would they have the long range view to do so?

I don't know enough about insurance, healthcare, etc. to provide any answers but I suspect every living person cares about his/her own life and given the freedom to do so would seek the best possible situation to sustain it. With the profit incentive and self preservation unleashed, I suspect there is an answer and that only idiots that want power over everyone, stand between it and a solution.
