"Itıs a funny story ‹ but it illustrates the extent to which health
reform must climb a wall of misinformation. Itıs not just that many
Americans donıt understand what President Obama is proposing; many
people donıt understand the way American health care works right now.
They donıt understand, in particular, that getting the government
involved in health care wouldnıt be a radical step: the government is
already deeply involved, even in private insurance.


True and government is highly involved in education and both health care
costs and education costs are spiraling out of control.

Does anyone seriously think that even more government involvement is
going to result in better treatment or lower cost?
