Someone tell Celeste, even the president has stopped pretending that "health care reform" legislation is what's happening in that nest of lobbyists, Congress.
He now uses "health insurance reform" which does little more than promise insurers 20 or 30 million more clients while allowing the rest of the medical industrial complex to continue its profligate high living off of its slice of the GDP hog.
And, despite those summer Obama press conferences by the president about voluntary hospital, insurance and drug company concessions, voluntary promises by corporations over ten years are empty promises.
The insurance company bogyman is just a diversion from the real issues which are we spend double what other industrial nations spend on health care, medical spending continues to spiral and our higher spending provides more care but not better care.
ObamaCare is corporate welfare.
