I’ve been swayed by the arguments of those who support the Senate bill:
Health care reform does nothing, they cry — except for covering 30 million people, ending overpayment on Medicare advantage, making the first real attempt to use medical evidence to guide health care spending, starting up a wide [...]
There was a key vote on the health care reform bill early this morning.
Now whether you support it or oppose it, sound off now. We’ll use your comments on tonight’s show.
Go.
[...]I walked into the office this morning to find several coworkers discussing last night’s Senate vote. They were a little unclear on what last night’s vote actually meant.
There are some other procedural steps that have to happen before the actual vote on the health care reform bill takes place but [...]
Yet Another Fire Dog Lake post led me to this Progressive Change Campaign Committee poll. My interest in the poll focused on the results of two questions:
Would you favor or oppose a health care bill that does NOT include a public health insurance option and does NOT expand [...]
In part one I identified the ways in which problems are tough to solve; part two I looked at health care and the ways in which it is socially, dynamically and generatively complex, which makes it difficult to solve. In part three I want to address a specific way in [...]
What factors make health care socially, dynamically and generatively complex?
Â
When we talk about it, we point to the fact that right now a huge number of Americans are uninsured – which in our system equates to lack of access to health care. But we fail to define if that is [...]
Adam Kahane’s book Solving Tough Problems: An Open Way of Talking, Listening and Creating New Realities identifies three continuums which influence not only the creation of problems but the solutions – dynamic complexity, generative complexity and social complexity.
Problems are tough because they are complex in three ways. They are dynamically [...]

In a comment over at KVNU’s For The People blog Craig concluded that if I was right in my position about health care it would mean that basically everyone had been missing the boat on this issue. My response to Craig was that I honestly believe that this current [...]

Video: clip of Obama CNN interview, excerpted from “Countdown” with Keith Olbermann
Barack Obama, February 2008 (emphasis added):
If a mandate was the solution [to health care], we could try [...]
I don't always agree with Howard Dean. In fact, I still dislike him on a number of fronts since 2003. But he is making some good points, as are the people still supporting what is left of the health care bill, whenever Megolmaniacs Lieberman and (Ben) Nelson are [...]
That’s pretty much how it seems to be going.
What the hell has happened to the party of Truman? Johnson? Kennedy?

The Democratic health care proposal being debated in the Senate not only contains large new taxes, enormous government expansion and huge spending, but I'm convinced it also seeks to allow federal funding for abortion -- something 61 percent of Americans do' [...]

Few people would predict that I would agree with Howard Dean as often as I do, fewer still should be at all surprised that I agree with him when he says of the Health Care Bill:
This is essentially the collapse of health care reform in the United States Senate. [...]
This question is framed in terms of employer sponsored health care benefits, but it really applies to any employer/employee interaction. Are you working with your employer, or are you competing with your employer? To put it another way, is your employer working with [...]
I wrote yesterday that I don’t recall the netroots ever being as angry as they are right now. Lots of folks in the netroots worked their butts off to get Democrats elected and what we’re getting is a crappy corporate sell0ut health care reform bill. The responses are ranging from [...]

From an interview with Lieberman. Offered without further comment:
And he said he was particularly troubled by the overly enthusiastic reaction to the proposal by some liberals, including Representative Anthony Weiner, Democrat of New York, who champions a fully government-run health care system.
“Congressman Weiner made a comment that Medicare-buy in [...]
