42. I don't think it can be "built on", it was designed to prop up and enrich the insurance cartel

from the roots up and isn't even substantively market based reform but rather a scheme to perpetuate our "uniquely American" clusterfuck and to keep existing profit centers rolling and to prevent any actual reform.

The Wealthcare and Profit Protection can't be seen as the groundwork you outline because it is by fundemental design the exact opposite.
This isn't a new idea, it is a generation plus old crappy one.

Our only hope is employers drop motherfuckers like hot as the sun potatoes but employers seemingly don't want out or we wouldn't be stuck with the dimwitted "employer based" system.
