A conservative vote for universal coverage

Randall Hoven's piece in "American Thinker" is admirable; Hoven is outraged that we don't get what we pay for, and thinks we can do better.

He's also speaking as one with a daughter that needed a heart transplant; this experience evidently informed his thinking, as Hoven appears to understand the need for insurance.

His views are remarkably consistent with other Republicans, even some of those who consider themselves staunch conservatives.

Problem is the crusaders on the left will never agree to much of Hoven's proposed deal, eg, settng catastrophic type coverage as the minimum standard, reforming medical malpractice, and reducing mandates for coverage of various special-interest demands.
