Catastrophic insurance is different. Even if you are insured, eventually the tap runs dry if you have very expensive long term care needs. A public system that covers only limited circumstances would alleviate a current problem in the system. The challenge would be to prevent abuse by insurers, who would be incented to push expensive care to the public system, socializing the risk and privatizing the profits, to use the phrtase gruss is so fond of. Any way we slice it, the problem still amounts to limited resources.
