CL offered a good read, and an opinion. What or which problem is Wix tasked with solving? Curing the Indians? Building clinics in Bombay? Or should he focus on the US and access to care? Market forces? Too many lawyers? Improving the CDC? Redistributing wealth to close the gap between haves and have nots? Helping people make decisions about their medical insurance plans? Limiting Cialis commercials? Or the growth in depression diagnosis since chairman o occupied the White House? We have short memories. Health care costs began their escalation in the mid 80s, supposedly because of a shortage of RN's. HMO's were introduced as a way to manage health and related costs. Premiums stabilized, and remained relatively stable even as shrillary was working diligently to inject greater central control. As she was rebuffed, the dim Congress got involved and passed new legislation requiring coverage for HIV, mental illness, drug and alcohol rehab, and portability. That's when premiums started their steady annual double digit increases, without letup. They, the dim dipsticks in DC created the problem of insurance affordability, and now pretend to solve it by taking it from a catastrophic insurance plan to financial catastrophe. And Wix's point was those same jackasses, elected or appointed, have to this point, regardless of cost, failed to demonstrate any ability to provide any service equal to or better than similar services in the private sector. I think the dems designed this takeover to eliminate health care consumers capacity to compare the at best lousy services they are capable of providing to the acceptable or better services most of us enjoy access to today. So again, which problem is Wix tasked with solving?
