I have a different take. Haven was an attempt to get 3 large, very different, groups to reach consensus on some very contentious issues. It was akin to asking everyone at the Thanksgiving dinner table to agree on a political issue.

Were they able to come to consensus on anything? There was going to be winners and losers if they changed benefit plans to be on a common platform across all 3 organizations. Maybe one organization had more losers than winners.

Then Haven made the Great Vaporware Mistake with a huge public relations and marketing campaign before they actually did the hard work.

Then reality set in.
