The reason its taken so long is US politics.

They needed a real crisis to get it approved so they've created one with Obamacare. (See http://www.pnhp.org/states_flatline/State%20Health%20Reform%20Flatlines%20IJHS%20-%202008.pdf ) Its right on schedule, just give ait a few more months to "ripen".

We're really going to have major price jumps. Oh no! Gotta dump those wage regulations- we have no choice!

Similar crises in education and IT will require Hillary's "hard choices" there too. Sure it was planned before- what difference does that make?

Wages will drop like a stone when foreign firms start winning ALL those bids for the "rebuilding of our infrastructure"
