I agree with you, ilr. But let's be honest -- the incentives have to be there. There are a lot of busy, disinterested, uneducated, distracted, unmotivated and/or foolish people out there. Telling someone "if you didn't buy that new car, you wouldn't be dying from diabetes right now" isn't going to help much. We need a plan that is simple and provides the right incentives.
I know you probably want details, but I'm too busy, disinterested, uneducated, distracted, unmotivated and foolish right now.

Very true, I agree - good post. It just kind of makes me very uneasy when people clearly make poor choices in their lives and then rush to blame the government (as if it was the government's fault for them not being responsible).
You use the term incentives which makes me think that you potentially would enjoy a podcast from the consulting arm of Deloitte & Touche:
Taking the Health Care System Off Life Support: A New Alternative for Insuring More Americans but then again I'm sure you are too busy, disinterested, uneducated, distracted, unmotivated and foolish right now.
