I have a hard time understanding why anyone would want more government involvement in something they (government) had a large hand in messing up to begin with. The majority of issues with healthcare resulted from government and huge, ridiculous settlements to folks in the millions to 10s of millions of dollars.
If a person earns even a hundred thousand a year, there is no way they should be getting millions of dollars awarded in malpractice suits. They would not earn that money in 20 lifetimes. Sure, they should be compensated for their loss, plus pain and suffering, however, it should be a realistic sum within their income potential, loss, how many years, lifetime, severity, etc, We need tort reform and not just in healthcare, most of us do not realize how much we pay for settlements or the risk for all products.
How many of these "civilized" countries invented CT scanners, MRI, 3D diagnostic imaging, etc.? The United States is where many of the advancements come from. Other countries are ahead in some things, because we have moral / mores that prevent procedures /studies, some, perhaps rightfully so.
The above are some quick points, there is a lot more to it, and other factors as well.

After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
