Say what you may about the vagaries of the current reform plans, the info-graphics deliberately obfuscated the plan—plus it had some inaccuracies such as incorrectly naming the Department of Veterans’ Affairs.  When if first saw the info-graphic I was just waiting for an intrepid graphic designer to do better.  My wait is over.  Robert Palmer of California has done an admirable job of simplifying the information.  Affectionately entitled Do not fuck with graphic designers, he posted the new chart on Flickr.
