ACA and like ilk have been peddled on "single payer" ... to address the enormous rise in costs and profits by the health care industry. there was some news about numerous meetings (lobbying by any other name) by the health care industry with both the executive and legislative branches just before ACA final vote ... and single payer disappears from ACA. After ACA there is even greater increase in profits (along with news about huge increase executive compensation ... rewards for doing something). there had been big spike in private equity buying up beltway bandits and gov. contractors after the start of the century ... big factor was beltway bandits and gov. contractors had significant limitations on how much they could spend on lobbying ... however private equity owners seem to have no similar restriction Barbarians at the Capitol: Private Equity, Public Enemy http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2007/10/barbarians-capitol-private-equity-public-enemy/ Lou Gerstner, former ceo of ibm, now heads the Carlyle Group, a Washington-based global private equity firm whose 2006 revenues of $87 billion were just a few billion below ibm's. Carlyle has boasted George H.W. Bush, George W. Bush, and former Secretary of State James Baker III on its employee roster ... including acquiring beltway bandit that will employ Snowden. then after ACA there were similar stories about private equity making big move into health care ... buying up rest homes, hospitals, etc. private equity posts http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/submisc.html#private.equity -- virtualization experience starting Jan1968, online at home since Mar1970
