Paul Ryan and others have assembled a plan to counter GummintCare, and now the industry begins to take up the discussion.
Ron Williams, chairman and CEO of health-care giant Aetna, said that a government-run health care plan was not necessary to ensure universal health coverage, but that the government should establish a public-private partnership and build on the employer-based system to provide coverage for all Americans.
...“Generally, we much prefer public-private partnerships, focusing on how we get everyone covered in a non-partisan way,” he said.
“One model I would point to is really the Part-D drug program for seniors, which I think is a very good example of a public-private partnership where individual seniors who have the resources buy their own Part-D drug benefit and those who don’t receive some sort of assistance,” said Williams
Obama's fevered "do it NOW" cries are not going to be helpful.
That's likely due to the possibility that with more people realizing the 'hope & change' they're getting isn't what they thought it'd be, they may change the Congress' make up in the coming mid-Terms. So, while he has total control, he needs to hammer this stuff through.
