Economic scarcity is "As Perceived;" thus No economic advance can eliminate it! Plus there plenty of other scarcities, that money or chaos might alleviate, or make more bearable. Plus there is American Corporatism to be fought. Benito Mussolini name his system "Corporatism." Fascism was merely its Italian Nickname.The underlying divisions in the healthcare debate
Politico: "Your view of corporatism will play a large role in whether you support the bill. Corporatism" -- the virtually complete dominance of government by large corporations, even a merger between the two.
It is a major step forward for the corporatist model, even a new innovation in propping it up. How one weighs those benefits and costs-both in the health care debate and with regard to many of Obama's other policies--depends largely upon how devoted one is to undermining and weakening this corporatist framework (as opposed to exploiting it for political gain and some policy aims).- Even if one grants the arguments made by proponents of the health care bill about increased coverage, what the bill does is reinforces and bolsters a radically corrupt and flawed insurance model and an even more corrupt and destructive model of "governing."
