Those conclusions are taking the available detail of the current proposals to conclusion.

I seriously doubt that any proposal would pass that results in such a conclusion. The point the article is making is that the proposals need to consider the facts that result in that conclusion (ie, current Medicare/aid rates cannot support the current industy), and need to offer proposals to counter act such a conclusion. Any proposal that doesn't is not a proposal, but a platitude.

Supporting the current industry is not the goal. The current industry is failing too many people.

Proposing too many details before a candidate is even elected would be foolish. Any particular detail can be distracting from the overall goal.
