That's encouraging too, although I bet it doesn't refill
at the same rate as topping it up yourself?
No one is doing that sort of thing yet, so it's impossible to say how it would work if it were done.
I think we Americans have a pretty good idea of how much the current situation sucks. The issue people worry about has three aspects (in a very oversimplified view):
1) How do we make it not suck for individuals?
2) How do we, as a society, stop spending 16% of GDP (and climbing) on healthcare?
3) How do we avoid some sort of explicit rationing?
People's worries are that a lot of proposed solutions for #1 seem to imply giving up on #2 or #3. I suspect the worries about #3 are overblown, but it's hard to say without doing an experiment of course.
Luckily, perhaps, experimenting on humans is considered acceptable in politics. ;)
