Where's The Debate About Health Care?
I just can't help myself from commenting on the so-called health care "debate" going on. My idea of a debate is where two reasonable, articulate people present compelling arguments on two sides of a question. From my perspective, there's little debate on the health care issue - it seems more like a partisan slug-feast where the only criteria for getting into the discussion is to be wackier than your opponent.
I confess that it seems to me the real crazy suggestions seem to be coming from the conservative side of the discussion, but read more like a dysutopian nightmare than actual potential concerns that need to be addressed as we make changes to our broken health care system. I can't imagine that these kind of bizarre suggestions are actually helpful in advancing the discussion, and the headlines do little to show any Republican leadership on the issue.
