No, not at all. I’m not sure what that line means. We all have (access to) HMOs? Not true, but slightly closer to true. They’ve become much more common? A weird way of saying it, but I guess that is what they must mean. I thought maybe it was something specific to the author, like is the audience for the blog specific to Columbia? But I don’t think so.
- freddie_mercury 3y agoThe meaning of the line is pretty clear? It is a rhetorical flourish not to be meant taken literally. The author obviously just means "now they are widespread". "Back in the day HMOs were basically non-existent but promised cost containment, among other benefits. Now they are widespread but they didn't deliver on any of their promises."
