Untangling Health Care "Reform"
Very illuminating article in the WSJ that most peope, whether for or against the path to Health Care "reform" that we're tracking down, will find educational.
The subtext is conservative, of course: "It was foolish of President Obama to think he could reform 16% of the nation's economy."
However, this is a worthy read, even if you dismiss the subtext and simply focus on the facts. It will help you understand why the bill ended up over 1000 pages and give you some insight into the difference between grand ideas that are good in theory, and the implementation of those ideas (and ideals) in an impossibly complex system that is insinuated into almost every aspect of our economy and our lives.
