After living outside the US for a bit, I've observed that decent quality private health care can be done much more inexpensively than it is being done in the US. Perhaps in addition to a public option, it's not a bad idea to figure out why a 'majority-world' country like Belize can have good private hospitals and medications at a fraction of the cost. Obviously, doctors and nurses make less here, but not enough to account for the disparity.
