consumers were unmistakably vocal about single payor. No one in their right mind could possibly believe that the cost to administrate a single universally understood plan could not save billions over the costs to administrate hundreds of different plans designed, each in part, to obfiscate coverage and payment terms. consumers directed the vocal message clearly to the white house and the white house summarily folded like an origami bird at the first hint of industry pressure. It is becoming prohibitively naive to dilude oneself any further into believing that anyone in d.c. has any interest in improving the lot of 95% of us. The best way to impliment the remaining dismal excuse for a window dressing is to scrap it. Perhaps we'll pick this up again as part of a larger overhaul of the wretched excess and profain dealing in the insurance industry. the best way for media to help is to stop promoting the disinformation that there is something to be gained by roughly 95% of us for playing along with this hypocracy-laced (?hypocratic?) side show lie. media needs to do a much better job listening as well.
