Health Care Reform, Really?

Folk,

For those of you convinced that the unanimous No votes of the GOP, shouts of "Armageddon" from John Boehner, and declarations from many on the Right that last week's effort to reform our health care system -- No. 1 in the world in cost, No. 37 in terms of quality -- are truly the biggest threat to freedom in this country in more than half a century, take a look at the interview between Bill Moyers and Bill Winship:

Benson, if you've not completed the statements protesting the policy, you'll find some atypical, yet persuave ones there.

Looking forward to doing some Q sorts tomorrow night, while spending a moment or two looking back at the craziness that has ensued this vote. If you haven't read Frank Rich's piece in the Sunday NYT, "It's not about healtcare," he's got a provocative piece that says, in effect, it's about race. My view (no. 135 among the readers' comments, is a bit more complex; and so far, it must be confusing the heck of the lefties and the righties, cuz it has almost no recommends). It's my opinion, though, and I'm sticking to it. I'm looking forward to what the rest of you think on what's motivating the outcry. Benson, for one, is doing a Q sort on it, so you will have a chance to weigh in that way. But it's a big story and we may have some time to discuss its historic and hysterical significance.

Cheers,
DT
