Health Insurance Reform?

As the Senate Finance Committee nears it's vote on health care "reform," it's important to wonder whether this proposed legislation will actually "reform" health care or merely mandate the uninsured increase the insurance pool and as a consequence hopefully decrease or stabilize insurance premiums.

What is lost in all of this is health care reform. How are we controlling costs? How are we insuring that health care, quality health care, is available to everyone?

My sense is, as this article suggests, is that health care reform is not happening. We are not looking at costs, at services, at availability.

So much for reform.
