The state of America's health

The American Medical Association has released a study on the ever consolidating American health insurance industry and how the resulting lack of competition has meant bigger profits for insurers but higher premiums and poorer care for the insured. Whatever solution America ultimately settles on for universal health care, and there will one day be universal health care in America, must not be based on private insurers who add only cost and not value to the nation's health. If they are including the "solution" will ultimately collapse of its own weight.
