No amount of features, particularly of the pay for play variety, ever fixes building on the biggest problems.

I find it particularly laughable that the fake central problem with healthcare in America is a few free riders that get shit but stable condition, if they are lucky in light of the almost unimaginable levels of pool fragmentation.

The bill is mostly healthcare reform according to the larger insurance companies, with an even better deal for the drug makers.
