I wish you'd realize that ANY plan would be failing right now.

Including any Tea Party Plan (yea right)
Including any Libertarian Plan (as if they'd agree to any)
Including any Republican Plan (where was that now...)
Including any Democratic plan... (oops, the one the other parties shredded and porked to death... and was aimed at the wrong places anyway)

It really doesn't matter what plan was put in place, just like any plan for healthcare that doesn't piss off all 4 of these: Pharma, Medical Device MFGs, Insurance Carriers, Lawyers (soft tissue damage limitations at least).

As it stands none of the plans will work, period.

We are headed into a 20+ year state of decline or stagnation (or very little growth if any) and nobody seems to see that.
