Choosing between the lesser of evils - or just choosing to be less naive?

Curious as to whether or not these issues matter or speak to anyone in relation to the current status of the U.S.A.'s health care system?

We now spend over 15.3% of our GDP on Health care in this country! No country even comes close! And yet our quality of health care isn't even in the top 30 of the 190 countries, compared worldwide. Kind of makes you wonder what our health EVER had to do with insurance! At least Blue Cross/Blue Shield, Aetna, Cigna & Kaiser Permanenta are healthy and happy!

And we all agree we would rather trust them (4 CEO's) rather than the publicly elected U.S. Government; since, after all, we have NEVER been able to trust it for anything! Such as our armed service, local and international protection, transportation, freedom, constitution, etc...

I wonder who is influencing us the most?? The current health care capitalist or the political system?
Hmmm...
