Taxpayer's money without Government control?

Maybe, perhaps I heard this wrong; The republicans favor a health care system using taxpayer's money but without government control!!! Yikes that sounds like a prescription for failure, fraud and complete and utter chaos.
Obviously the republicans know that such a proposal has as much chance of success as a donkey has of winning the Derby.
Party politics aside; the republicans, AMA and health insurance providers don't want any overhaul of the current system; they don't want to take a pay cut!
This week we see the congress starting to work on health care reform. I have a question for our lawmakers: Have you decided, have you agreed on what is wrong with the current system?
I know we have 15% or more Americans without insurance; we have many Americans with deductables so high that they don't see Doctors; we have older Americans choosing whether to eat or buy prescription drugs; we have areas where there are lots specialized medical facilities but a shortage of Family Practioners; we have insurance companies spending millions on analysing claims looking for ways not to pay; we have insurance companies spending millions on duplicating documentation and records.
So congress: Which of these few ills are you agreed upon exist? Or do you need some second opinions and was there a pre existing condition that needs to be investigated?
