: TalkLeftExpanding Health Care Funding Is Good, But It Is Not Reform
By Big Tent Democrat
Picking on Ezra again - Ezra writes:
I referenced it an earlier post, but this paper from Families USA outlining the 10 reasons to support health-care reform is a must-read. The public plan is one of the entries. But only one of them. And not the one that would help the most people.
Certainly spending more money on health care, particularly for the less well off, is a good thing. No one would or could argue otherwise. But let's not pretend that is health care reform.
In the end, if there can be no public option, why not instead strip out the "reform" part of "the bills," as the paper Ezra extolls refers to them, and just leave in the extra funding. In short, no public option, then no mandates. Just the extra money. For now.
Speaking for me only
