one problem is with who defines "basic" and "non-essential" - the doctors or
the payor? as doctors continue to find loopholes to get coverage for their
patients (usually thru creative diagnoses) payors continue to narrow the
definition.
and there's the the spiraling cost of prescription meds yet. there's class

demanding it. finding middle ground will be the highest mandate of the next
president. i just don't see one.
