And what better bed to shit than Pravda's Op-Ed page?

Moreover, since health care is so dynamic, even if we thought we had the answer for containing costs and improving quality today, that would quickly change as health care evolved. With the additions of investments in health information technology, research into what works and what doesn't, and an Independent Payment Advisory Board of doctors and other medical experts making recommendations to improve the Medicare system, the legislation under consideration would create a virtuous circle in which more information becomes available, different delivery system reforms are tested and successful reforms are scaled up quickly as we learn more.

Savor that. What more needs to be "learned"? We have decades of experience from other countries to learn from! Other countries using single payer systems or -- gasp -- socialized medicine deliver better care at half the cost! We don't need to use the American people as guinea pigs without their informed consent! Here's the chart that shows everything you need to know:

It's health care for profit that makes the difference. But since the people who profit from denying us care own the FKDP, Obama, along with lackies Orszag and DeParle, they don't want to hear it. Even though adopting a single payer system would save the country at least $350 billion a year, it's off the table, because it's more important to Versailles keep the blood funnel of the health insurance companies firmly implanted in our flesh.

NOTE The White House blogger who censored Dr. Jess Federowicz's single payer question during one of those fake Obama town halls worked out of DeParle's office. Of course.

NOTE To be fair, throwing a few billions into IT will reward heavy campaign contributors like Google, and throw some site building contracts at the "creative class." And what's billions of dollars a year in savings and thousands of peasant's lives compared to that? Let's be reasonable, people.
