Delivering a keynote at Families USA's annual Health Action conference, Elizabeth Warren signaled either that she hasn't studied U.S. healthcare very closely or that she cares to attack only politically convenient targets on this front. Warren lambasted the travesty that American families are one sickness away from financial ruin -- a major early discovery of hers - and that's great. She excoriated the country's major private insurers as faithless partners in the Affordable Care Act, and that's fair enough (though the U.S. government has in turn been a faithless partner of the insurers). She suggested that those insurers who want the privilege of participating in the profitable Medicare Advantage and managed Medicaid markets should be required to participate in the ACA marketplace, and that's reasonable, at least in outline.
