Something needs to be done about healthcare in America, but the current Healthcare Reform would do more harm than good, as it stands right now.

After yesterday I think it's obvious that the conservatives on the bench rightly feel that its outside the bounds of their constitutional powers to, as you say, "rule with a surgical knife". Scalia asked the Solicitor General for a precedent for that and he could name none. What needs to be done in America about healthcare is to allow open borders for insurance companies. The level of competition would be raise and prices would lower. Health insurance would be a lot more affordable. Besides the real number if uninsured in USA is about 15 million not 50 million. Many of those 15 mil are young ppl who choose not to carry insurance because theynare young and healthy. Another segment of that 15 mil are wealthy folks who choose not to carry insurance and pay as they go.
