Matt Taibi On Health Care

Taibi exposes the vast underbelly of corruption, misguidance, futility, improbability, and an eventual failure in regards to health care reform.

How can anyone fix this thing other than leaning it more into the hands of the elite.

Common Dreams: How Washington is Screwing Up Health Care Reform – and Why It May Take a Revolt to Fix It
We might look back on this summer someday and think of it as the moment when our government lost us for good. It was that bad.

The only committee that didn't finish a (health care) bill is the one that's likely to matter most: the Senate Finance Committee, chaired by the infamous obfuscating dick Max Baucus, a right-leaning Democrat from Montana who has received $2,880,631 in campaign contributions from the health care industry.

STEP ONE: AIM LOW

STEP TWO: GUT THE PUBLIC OPTION

STEP THREE: PACK IT WITH LOOPHOLES

STEP FOUR: PROVIDE NO LEADERSHIP

STEP FIVE: BLOW THE MATH
