Health Abstract and Process: Movement Six

Posted by Charles Mudede on Mon, May 11, 2009 at 2:10 PM

Coalition of insurers, hospitals and doctors says $2 trillion in medical expenses can be saved over a decade. Obama calls it 'a watershed event in the long and elusive quest for healthcare reform.

My processing of the abstract? Krugman said it all:

What’s presumably going on here is that key interest groups have realized that health care reform is going to happen no matter what they do, and that aligning themselves with the Party of No will just deny them a seat at the table.

If this happens, if the bill passes with industry support, it will be the final nail in the GOP's coffin.

Lots of Americans still hate gays and foreigners, so they've got that going for them. This keeps up, I can't wait to hear the ironic gripes of being compared to Brittan's National Socialist Movement, because, you know, it's got the word "socialist" in it.
