I don't see how eliminating the private sector will be SO beneficial. I mean sure, it will give everyone access to health care, but the quality will be crap. Can't we keep the private sector and have some kind of hybrid system to take care of everyone who doesn't want to pay for added benefits?

That's a pretty big assumption. The Clinton plan would create legislation so that carriers will have to offer coverage to everyone at reasonable prices. First of all - that won't fly. You can't force a company to offer a service to someone. Also, the carriers stand to lose big time because they will be taking on a ton of added risk while getting little compensation for it.

That, I agree with. Money = politics. Politics = money.
