There is one sentence buried in the last paragraph that describes an approach that would correct most of the deficiencies in our health care financing system: "Other members and candidates have suggested eliminating all private insurance and replacing it with a public plan like Medicare, and ending or reducing premiums and cost-sharing."
It is unfortunate that The Commonwealth Fund along with other organizations and media sources seem to have delegated this approach to a category of "aspiration" which can be dismissed because of a supposed lack of political feasibility.
Our task? Change the perception about political feasibility. Take to the streets if we have to.
