Re: Tonight is 'the night that all Americans becam (2.00 / 1)

As many have pointed out to you for months now, there is no consensus over whose health plan is superior.  There are experts on both sides of this debate.  Robert Reich is one of the foremost supporters of Obama's plan, arguing it does the most to lower costs and will cover more people than a mandated plan without clear mechanisms for enforcement.  Paul Starr has argued that Obama's plan represents the likely outer limit of what is currently possible from a legislative standpoint, but that an Obama presidency and his proposed reforms have the potential to lay important groundwork for the creation of a larger consensus on health care reform and other issues.  

You have clearly mastered one side of the health care debate.  I would like to suggest that the time has arrived to give the counter arguments a fair hearing and to consider the political context that delineates the short term and long term possibilities for this crucial initiative.
