If the plan can't survive pointing out the various giant elephants in the room then it's not much of a plan. You have to do better than "lets hope everyone is happy to join us in pretending this problem doesn't exist."
Further, of all the oxen that need to be gored provider compensation is not the most scary. Who is going to believe these people are capable of addressing the really tough aspects of US healthcare when they can't deal with even that? When the only defense is "don't talk about it"?
When faced with such cowardice I conclude that what we'll actually get is more cop-outs; anyone with a non-subsistence level income will take another huge bath, the backhand rationing that is huge deductibles will continue and we'll still have a big cohort of people that get no healthcare.
