Ground Hog Day health-care speech
The morning after President Obama's big speech on health care, the debate, sadly, remains stuck in repeat mode.
Not much new. Same old generalities, partisanship and sugar-coating.
Once again, the president held up countries like Britain as models for the United States without giving us an honest assessment of the downsides. Until President Obama holds up stories like this one, in which a premature baby was left to die because it was born two days sooner than the state's guidelines for preemie care, discusses it openly and then still says this kind of rationing is better than the current American system, the health care debate lead by the president and Congress is diminished and dishonest.
