June 15, 2009: "no matter how we reform health care, we will keep this promise: If you like your doctor, you will be able to keep your doctor. Period. If you like your health care plan, you will be able to keep your health care plan. Period. No one will take it away. No matter what. My view is that health care reform should be guided by a simple principle: fix what’s broken and build on what works.”

"fix what’s broken and build on what works"

Or did he mean to say break what's fixed and work over everything that's built?

Simple words for simple minds.

Once again, creating a system that doesn’t conform to the laws of reality is blowing up in their faces. The emphasis on cost savings has resulted in the insurers creating a subset of their normal product for exchange use. There’s a multitude of ways to cut back, eliminate your high utilization doctors from the plan, increase deductables, eliminate payments for out of plan services, etc. Each company has done something different, but they’re all doing it, and it all adds up to cost driven rationing in one form or another.

They tried to create a system that left out the cost variable, without understanding that everything else is related to it.

Someone from the Ukraine or Belarus will create a great insurance plan with low premiums and deductibles and great doctors. Just enter your name, birthdate, SS#, credit card # and bank account info.
