10. Follow the money
I hate to be pessimistic, but I don't see any real change in the future. There is too much money at stake and the people with the money own the lawmakers. There is no way in hell that the insurance agencies and the AMA will give in on public health care. They will lose so much money.

I'm just expecting to have the same crappy system in 2012 that we have now. Perhaps with some window dressing.

This country has to implode before we will see any real change in health care, energy or defense spending.
