Nice shot Dan. You pidgeon-holed me as a lame-duck simple-minded Republican.
Of course I will have to change parties to make you right.

Perfect proportion of paranoia and common sense. Great piece.

I love it… lame-duck Republicans want to ‘slow’ the process down, while Democrats are rushing to do something, anything, before they lose their chance. Meantime, the media is spinning everyone round in circles with catchwords and prepackaged excuses. PS, Trey, I love how you brought in the five-star restaurants… you might have expounded more on ‘tax and spend socialism,’ ‘evil dictatorships,’ and ‘Rasmussen polls,’ but good nuff. Damn, isn’t everybody tired of the same old UFC match — Freedom vs. Safety???

Yes. We need a deliberate debate on how to provide affordable and comprehensive health to all Americans.
It is so easy to find what is wrong with an existing system, yet no one can tell what the proposed health insurance programs would actually entail. Desperately changinging the system quickly just because President Obama temporarily has the political capital does not guarntee a better system. In fact, the rush to pass “something” in the face of mounting opposition will decrease the odds of a successful program.
The nexus of Health Care Industry and Insurance Industry is the main cause of America’s faulty system. It is still the World’s best healthcare, but at what price?
Americans should not be bankrupted because of a health crisis. We need to change that. But it is okay for Executives of industry to eat at the best resturaunts, as long as they are not paying for te Senator’s meal. If you and Sinclair Lewis had your way, only Government officials could afford to eat at the finest resturaunt: read 1984.

Amazing article. Seems like an obvious enough solution… I’ll take a government bureaucrat over an insurance suit any day. Plus, as long as there’s a demand for ‘glamour health insurance,’ corporations will figure out a way to offer private doctors at private prices. For the rest of us, give us the most effective medicine of all — peace of mind.
