I think you and I have varying definitions of what makes successful health care then. Yes while we can point at broad statistics and say that because "most" get some form of coverage or another, the fact that 1.) it's tied to our jobs (especially in this economy) and 2.) the fact that when one becomes seriously sick they can lose their coverage, leads me to think it's far from successful.
That's fine, but you're treating the exceptions as the rule to base your argument. I'm not sure that's the most appropriate way to approach an issue.
Government I will at least have a chance of improving because I have a say in it, we all do
I have no say in Medicare or, really, in any HHS activity, since we don't elect the President directly. At least when you deal with a private company, you can take your business elsewhere.
