Here’s my plan: Lonecat Care: The Federal government establishes a few general principles, such as Everyone is covered, Plans are portable from state to state, and a few more. Then each state gets to set up its own system. Some might go for Romneycare, some might go for a single payer system, others might go for a public/private mix. This plan allows for innovation and experimentation, guarantees everyone coverage but protects states’ rights (for those who care). Eventually some plans would prove to be better than others, and those would spread. Or we can just keep on shouting at each other.
The answer to healthcare should have been fixing the parts that did not work, not trying to rebuild the entire system. If your car gets a flat tire you don’t restore the entire car. But the public and the republicans should foot the blame. The Democrats have wanted socilized medicine in his country for decades and the Republicans sat on their hands.

Republicans would have passed their own plan, except that they filibustered it.

Like Greece, Spain and all the other bankrupt countries with over 20% unemployment?
