The Worst Mutant - Health Care

It seems fitting that I happen to be writing this blog on Halloween. Mutants are celebrated today. So let's celebrate the mutant, which happens to be dominating the news and national conversation, health care. And to be sure, we are witnessing another massive mutation of the already grotesque beast right before our eyes. Well intentioned, and not so well intentioned, congressional leaders and the President are in the process of grafting new appendages and organs to the beast. Make no mistake, this will be the most hideous of all beasts we know of today. If you think otherwise, with all due respect, you are completely out of touch with health care. I suggest you read this well written, very insightful piece by David Goldhill. It is simply the most comprehensive, succinct review of health care I have read to date. Forget about whose side you are on, Democrat or Republican. To my amazement, I have read positive remarks about Mr. Goldhill's article from individuals on all sides of this debate. He has done what no one else has been able to do, dispassionately dissect the mutant. His article should be required reading for the entire Congress, all their aids, those writing the bills, the President, pundits, "experts" and all who have commented, blogged or in any way chimed in on the debate. Basically, any American who can read, should read his article. In the meantime, as children and adults get ready to dress up as ghouls, goblins, zombies and the like, let's realize what a freakish creature we have and prepare ourselves for the even worse freak show to come!
