Kind of my stance on the healthcare system, too. Anytime I think that maybe some more government control in there wouldn't be the worst idea, another part of my brain reminds me it took 3 weeks for me to get my last medicine refill from the VA and that's without adding 300m+ people to the system, and the last attempt with the ACA wasn't exactly great.
