Belatedly, a Thank You nonetheless for acknowledging that the status quo when it comes to healthcare is totally and utterly unacceptable. I don’t quite get why people still fail to see that fact. It’s like a train wreck in slow motion . . . It’s still a train wreck in the end.

We need to solve this by deploying Healthcare Reform, ideally, in a bipartisan fashion. But if need be, Democrats need to do the best they can without Republican support.

…..Actually this is a very astute piece by Frum……it’s subtext is that if this situation is left unattended it’s going to start spiralling out of control as more and more companies cut benefits or increase employees share of costs and this could turn into a much more aggressive program of reform…..I’ve seen it suggested that this is the attitude of the insurance and pharma industries in the main….better to make a deal now and remain in the game rather than let the whole system breakdown and god knows what would come out of it…..the current system is sclerotic……it will be fixed by Obama or another at some point because it’s unsustainable……..this is what Obama and a lot of people see but not the far right and the foot soldiers they’v indoctrinated.
