To the Editor:

Like the "Montana grown" coffee, any "healthcare reform" coming out of this bipartisan cabal will have no honest claim to that name. Coffee could indeed be grown in Montana, but it would be hugely wasteful to do so in heated greenhouses. Likewise, a system run for the profit of the insurance companies and their stockholders can provide healthcare, but it cannot do so at an acceptable cost.
