That would explain the lack of industry regulation in Obama's health care plan.

Clinton (& Edwards etc) the mandate works on both consumers AND industry (and other stakeholders).
It includes industry mandates to stop customer discrimination, forcing compliance with standards etc.

Obama's plan uses words like "encourage" industry to play nice, use "voluntary" mechanisms etc. All optional.  His subsidies are just corporate welfare, more people get covered sure, but they get the same crap coverage everybody else is already pissed about, and the govt subisidies, in effect, flow through to the HMO.

HMOs have maxed out the market in the USA, a 'saturated market', they are keen to expand to overseas markets. Canada might look good I guess for a new hunting ground?

No. None Nada.

The principals are David Cutler, Austen Goolsbee and Jeffrey Liebmnan.

Free market, free traders one and all.

And that's been the biggest clue to Obama's perfidious campaign from the start.

This is what's behind his remarks about Social Security (Jeffrey Liebman, SS privatization supporter), his tepid response ($500 tax credit) to the mortgage crisis, his lame (tax cuts) initial response to recession countermeasures and his failure to provide a government run health insurance option (David Cutler, wants health care industry profits as high as possible) unlike Edwards and Clinton.
