    Yup, that's about the size of it. Major difference is that the controls on the "basic" health insurance aren't nearly as broad or well-defined as the Swiss/Dutch model. And the "X" number is 50, I believe.

    It's the best we could do under the circumstances, which is a long way from saying it's good.

    If the Republicans ever undo their cranial-rectal inversion on the subject, they could be rather helpful in debating it like grownups, and ultimately making its implementation less worse.

    Unfunded giveaway to big pharma and seniors? Yes please! Private-insurance-based reform modeled on the Swiss/Dutch model? SOCIALISMO!
