1. The sad thing is that since Clinton's admin, big changes to healthcare have relied on private insurance companies.

Part C which evolved into Medicare Advantage was originally signed by Clinton, ACA relies on privated insurance companies, so do Part D drug plans, most states rely on private health insurers in their Medicaid programs, medigap has always been private insurane.

And of course, even original Medcare relies on subidiaries of private insurance companies to pay claims, interpret coverage requirements, credential providers, audit providers, answer beneficiary questions, etc.

Guess we can fight it, but we won't get anything major done.
