Karen, I think the needs of the uninsured trumps this problem. And I am confident that, should the rhetoric shift to offering incentives for medicare for all plans, the policy shops will be full of creative proposals addressing all these problems.

My big concern is the hold that business based lobbyist have over the legislative process. Which makes it terribly difficult to get reasonable policy proposals through.

That's one of the several reasons I think Obama holds more promise than Clinton. And certainly more than McCain.
