Most of us know the propaganda technique called “The Big Lie” (which, as Hitler put it, is a lie so colossal that no one would believe that someone “could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously”.) But I think that the health care debate has gotten to The Even Bigger Lie, which is […]
A woman objecting to health care reform at a democratic congressman’s town hall introduces herself as just a “concerned mom”, and claims she is not affiliated with any political party. Turns out, she was vice-chair of the county GOP until 2008, worked in the campaign for the congressman’s opponent, and on her online resume claims […]
Hilarious opinion piece by Jonathan Alter in Newsweek.

Congress is saying that they can’t finish up health care reform before they go on vacation in August. To put this in perspective, what will happen while Congress is on vacation for three weeks? 143,250 people will lose their health insurance coverage. 53,507 people will be forced into bankruptcy because they can’t pay their medical […]
One thing that has been notably missing from the health care debate has been a (sane) discussion of health care systems in other nations. You would think that if we are going to reform health care in this country, we might want to look at what has worked in other nations (and avoid things that […]
