What do you think of these new healthcare plans being discussed?

Specifically, amongst others, is a plan being promoted by the Commonwealth Fund, which envisions a partnership between government sponsored health plans and private insurers.
They would work in combination to offer consumers more choices, but the plan requires that consumers purchase and/or attain healthcare coverage.
They mention that their plan design would reduce the growth at which healthcare costs are rising from year to year.
Whether accurate or not, I don’t know, especially since the results from the State of Massachusetts are not in.
On the surface though, a combination plan offering between government and private groups seem to make sense in the sense that it appears to promote competition.
The plan also wants to reward efficiencies and penalize waste. This also makes sense on the surface, but the question is how effective would it be?
Look, it appears that we are beyond just repeating that we need a better system and are now prepared to begin to do something about it.
Remember one thing though, our healthcare services professionals are tops. Our commitment to excellence and competition place us higher than all other countries.
We need health insurance for all. We need affordable health insurance for all.
