See! See??!

I'm not off base when I complain about the current health care plans being introduced by Democrats as not doing enough to reduce health care costs. Even the chief of the Congressional Budget Office is critical of the plans.
Under questioning by members of the Senate Budget Committee, CBO director Douglas Elmendorf said bills crafted by House leaders and the Senate health committee do not propose "the sort of fundamental changes that would be necessary to reduce the trajectory of federal health spending by a significant amount."
What sort of 'fundamental changes' could he be talking about? The only thing I can think of is smashing the health care industry into oblivion and going to a single-payer system.

UPDATE: TNR on Ron Wyden.
