AP: "It will be years to decades" before the nation has a properly working health care system that rewards quality over quantity, Peter Orszag told reporters. He said improving the quality of health care "is more like a lifelong nutrition or diet, not studying for an exam," but he added that continuous progress is a crucial goal.

Folks, this is just their way to set up health care as a NEVER ENDING CRISIS.

Just like CLIMATE CHANGE.

Just like everything else.

The only way they can do stuff we’d never stand for is to do so under a crisis. In fact that’s their only plan. They can’t do anything UNLESS it’s a crisis because they want to do radical things, quickly.

Sounds like they are trying to set expectations so they are not all voted out of office starting 2014.

They will never implement national health care. They don’t have to because the government is getting their money up front, starting the moment the bill is passed.< /p> It's not about health. It's about power, period.

That’s why it’s so imperative that they pass a plan ASAP without reading it or properly vetting it.

“That’s why it’s so imperative that they pass a plan ASAP without reading it or properly vetting it.”

The actual bill is a joke...pile on, pile on... just for laughs.

Because they are destroying our health care system with no infrastructure to implement the plan. No new hospitals, chase current health workers out of the country, etc., etc.
There won't be “health care”, all they want is your money.
They don't CARE!!

translation: If we can’t get Public Option passed through the Senate it will take us 10 to 20 years to regulate the private health insurance industry out of business.

That report may assume that decades pass without the fascists in congress monkeying the health care system in their never ending quest for wealth and power. Factor that in, and the system will never work better, or cost less, than the day it passes.

Of course, the upside will be that, when the government death squads kill you, maybe the government will also pay for the burial from the body parts sale proceeds.
