...have, you can keep it." But it is difficult to enact substantive reforms when 80% of the system stays the same. The need for simplicity has also forced Obama to stick with - indeed, to double down on - the current practice of having employers provide health insurance. This is the weakest, most illogical part of the system. It is difficult to sustain in a global economy where American corporations have overseas competitors that aren't saddled with providing health care for their employees...

The strongest claims belong to secured lenders, which are first in line for any proceeds if the company is liquidated. In between lie the unsecured claims. For a carmaker, this creditor class includes suppliers who haven't been paid, car owners whose repairs ought to be covered by warranty, dealers seeking reimbursement for manufacturers' rebates - and the UAW seeking a VEBA payment...
