Pretty much the deck is stacked against citizens getting a fair shake in the health care reform debate. Last night provided the perfect example of that, and earned (the often linked to here) Ezra Klein a place on my "blogs you should be reading" list.
His post on the 'The Status Quo Wins in Health-Care Reform' is a must read.
If you do not know much about Sen Wyden's Free Choice Amendment, it quite simply gave most of the insured populace a choice about insurance. It would give us the same sort of options members of congress and federal employees get with their coverage. Mainly it would give people the ability to chose coverage, portability of that coverage, and reasonable rates even if unemployed.
That was, what was defeated last night.
So yeah. I am a bit disappointed.
