I would also like to point out that while many advocates of the currents plans cite the “universal health care” in Massachusetts as a harbinger of what will come out of the current Federal efforts, they entirely miss the voters opinion that (while the idea of universal health coverage isn’t inherently wrong) our representatives have not crafted a viable plan for reform.

Let’s reform health insurance but let’s do so in a manner that doesn’t eventually cause crippling fiscal problems (a la Medicare).
