The net neutrality movement is best understood as the 'keep the ISPs from fucking with the net' movement. Why exactly do we want to give Comcast the power to extort more money from Netflix? Won't THAT be what makes video content more expensive or harder to get?

I'm not sure, of course, but I think whell is actually talking about the elimination of net neutrality since that, as you say, is more or less what we have now. In other words, we don't have to "implement" anything to achieve it (though granting the internet "common carrier" status under Title 2 of the Telecommunications Act would go a long way toward protecting it).
