Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens

Let's just pretend it's sometime in 2009 and President Whoever has fixed it such that every single one of us can and does buy health insurance and now we're all covered.

As far as I can tell, none of the Wannabe Presidents has addressed a few piddly little issues:

• the inordinate number of fingers in the health care money pie
  
• the unholy collusions of PBMs and specialty drug companies
  
• insanely-paid CEOs will still be the ultimate gatekeepers deciding who gets what care
• [there must be more that we just don't know about yet]
  

On gatekeepers, sure, some people are still wary of letting a bunch of government bureaucrats replace the greedy CEOs and their minions in the disbursing of funds, and rightfully so, but even with all the dismantling and disarranging that BushCo has done, our government is still more transparent and more accountable than the insurance industry has been or ever will be.
