[Amy Sawyer · Rating 3 out of 5]

It's a broadside, so it is short and very high level. There does not appear to be any input, or thought given, from other stakeholders, such as insurance companies; and consequently, has a very myopic view from a purely economic standpoint.

Providing health insurance that is affordable and sustainable over the long-term is very complicated and has too many interested stakeholders whose prime motivation seems focused on how to get insurers to pay more for everything. Not understanding the purpose of insurance or how it operates is what has led to the mess we are currently dealing with.
