Health Care Reform: Separating The Wheat From The Chaff

by Andrew Kurz and Miles Zaremski

The article at the link is intended as a fresh look at health care reform, presenting the main points and distilling more than 2,000 pages of legislation into fewer than 2,500 words. The tone is dispassionate; this is not a critique of political efforts to date. Over a dozen issues are identified where there is broad agreement. A die-hard critic may find more common ground than meets the eye.

The President reminds us that, after nearly a century of trying, we are closer than ever to achieving health care reform. A look at the core issues, presented as civil discourse and shorn of distractions, may create the needed consensus.
