What do you think of my main argument, that once it is implemented and the focus has shifted to some other issue - which is surely the case - that then is when the real problems start. By real problems I mean tweaking things to favor those with a profit incentive? That health care is ripe to be manipulated because there is so much money here. That the underlying problem is one of influence by money ending up in politicians pockets. How will the outcome for insurance industry and/or hospital care be different than the banking industry or the oil industry for instance? Both those industries had lots of checks and balances by government and how did that help?
