Yes, this is one of many reasons why Obama is trying to get those reforms to go through the senate. He wants every American to have some level of access to medical care.
Yes, often they let their greed and arrogance guide their policies, and can said to be “out of control”.
Having said that, the successful lawsuits you list prove that they can be controlled though normal government oversight, however the individual states usually have to take up the challenge, because the federal government is busy tilting at windmills rather than addressing crucial issues.
There is a big difference between being “out of control”, and being “without any control whatsoever”.
If we allow federal health care to take over, and see the private insurance companies slowly disband, we will be subject to health care and spending that is “without any control whatsoever”.
That is truly frightening.
