No doubt a systems approach would have produced a better result. As would a stepwise approach. What we got was a negotiated result, never as pretty. This one was particularly ugly. We had one side trying for single payer and the other side determined to concede nothing. The end result had to be someplace in the middle. Had we known in advance this particular middle is where we'd end up, we could have gone straight there and done it neatly. But the "single payer" and the "no" uglied it up. As for what we've ended up with (assuming that the end will be close to the Senate bill), you know, it could have been a lot worse. The glass is not even half empty.
