Because free market reform doesn't fit the script that the media is used to seeing. Unfortunately many people think "reform" should mean that the government takes on more and more responsibility for health care.
Can someone please explain to me why the mainstream media is wailing about how health reform is hopeless, because of the failure of Governor Schwarzenegger's awful health care "deforminator", ABX1 1, when we have an excellent example of real, consumer-directed, reform in the Peach State?
