Good short answer. Alas, too many people are profiting off the current kluge.
I might have a fifth model. In my grandfather's time, on the rare occasion someone was sick that he couldn't do out of pocket, he would go to the guy doing lone sharking, alcohol smuggling, the numbers racket and similar stuff. Mafiacare? I think the guy running the old depression era local speakeasy had a better reputation than either the modern government or insurance companies.
That this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.
