>>Health-care planning is large enough it surely qualifies as an industry in its own right. Huge sums of money are spent on legions of presumably very bright people. Calling the final results "through a glass darkly" is as damning an indictment as I can imagine.
Yes, but that's your bad paraphrase. KG asked me to prove that had the ACA happened 20 years ago, his family would not be experiencing the turmoil they currently face wrt fibromyalgia that has a speckled history in more than one jurisdiction. You turned that into a story about the totality of healthcare planning.
It's a truism that the ACA is new and people are finding their way and some stuff is falling through the cracks.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
