This is the most slanted, reality-ignoring piece I've seen in a long time.

But it is striking that the people who most dislike the whole idea of healthcare reform - the ones who think it is socialist, godless, a step on the road to a police state - are often the ones it seems designed to help.



Nobody thinks health care reform is socialist or a step on the road to... It's was the liberal health care reform bill that was just defeated by the iconically blue-blooded people of Massachusetts that was all that.

There was just all kinds of hub-bub over Obama attending that conference with Republicans. Obama talked about Republican ideas to reform health care. Elab, did you miss that conference? It was all over the news. Were Republicans proposing those reforms because they are socialists?

Instead, to many of those who lose out under the existing system, reform still seems like the ultimate betrayal.



Good lord this article is full of itself.

Why are so many American voters enraged by attempts to change a horribly inefficient system that leaves them with premiums they often cannot afford?



That bill rose the costs of health care in this country. This, according to an agency that's a part of the Obama administration, the Center for Medicare Services. That's why it sucked. It made costs go up without any substantial price controls.

There are plans available that cover more people than that public option bill and drive health care costs in this country down. This bill still leaves 10 million Americans uninsured and drove costs up.

The rest of the article is so full of highly theoretical situations that it makes concrete conclusions out of within a horribly slanted piece, it wasn't even worth reading. I almost made it to the end. Stopped a few paragraphs short.
