Passage of the Health Care Bill - Is it a symptom of Tragedy of the Commons?

This is more a question to my esteemed fellow students. Reading the article in the New York Times this morning, I was thinking about the tragedy of the commons for healthcare. I think that this dilemma too is linked to the population in our nation and the lack of medical resources to care for everyone (at a reasonable cost). Certainly there are other things at work here, politcs for one, and money for big business for another, yet I still keep coming back to the recent readings and wondering how we make all these issues work out for the current generations and those to come.
