Commercial insurers—who were still required to pay taxes, establish reserves, and adhere to other state insurance regulations—had difficulty competing with the Blues, which, by the 1950s, together were the largest provider of health insurance in America. In an effort to compete with the Blues, more and more for-profit insurance companies offered similar plans, and the model of third-party insurance plans paying the providers directly with little or no input from the patient—and paying for routine care through insurance—became entrenched. This new model was a disaster in the making. In addition to minimizing incentives for insured customers to comparison shop for medical services, it also minimized incentives for doctors and hospitals to compete on price.

POPSLearn from Obama's Victory: The Nation, Bangkok, Thailand John McCain, Obama's Republican opponent, promptly congratulated the winner, vowed to help him and told his supporters to accept the outcome. Obama thanked and praised McCain for his spirit. Political opponents in Thailand, on the other hand, attack each other any way they can. Conditions must be laid down just to start a political dialogue. Obama credited his success to donors who supported him no matter how much or little money they could give. His singling out for praise of a 106-year-old woman who made a great effort to vote could also make Thailand's genuine advocates of democracy envious of the Americans' participation.
