Basing teacher pay on test scores is an abomination of educational practice. Teachers are now routinely teaching kids how to take tests rather than helping kids learn. Test skills have become the paramount goal of 'education' and that is crap, plain and simple.
As the OP states, we should not be agnostic about how UHC is acheived. If it is implemented through a corrupt give-away boondoggle to the healthcare industry it will be a disaster and will set back UHC for decades. The fact that Obama is opening the door to this scam is alarming to say the least. At least I find it alarming. Just look at the crap that is medicare plan D, that is the corporatist version of UHC in a nutshell.
