The health care and insurance industries have tremendous financial and lobbying influence and they will not go away without a fight. Hartmann interviewed Edwards a week or so ago and that was one point discussed. The approach is entirely pragmatic, but probably the most efficient to make the change. Allowing people to buy into a publicly-funded health care plan like Medicade will be the ultimate competition to for-profit providers. They will have no choice but to improve efficiency of service or tailor service to elective specialties. If you can't kill the 600 pound gorrila in the room, you can at least keep it out of reach.
