Incremental could work, but then again, what does one mean by "incremental?" We have been moving, incrementally, toward a reform of out health care system for a long, long time. But, it has been so incremental as to be movement that has been unnoticeable and virtually undetectable. Such incrementalism has been favored by the entrenched system. The entrenched system likes this kind of incrementalism and can continue to live with it forever. In other words, let the public continue to have their discussions about change and keep dreaming on...just don't let it actually happen. Opponents of change keep saying the discussion is moving was too fast. Too fast for them, but it could never be too fast for those who have been shut out of health insurance for the huge variety of reasons that apply.
