This is not a news article, but an opinion piece. The writer is certainly entitled to his opinion but his statistics should not be taken as fact. Statistics, as most know, can be dug up to support almost any position. Further, just because one does not blindly support “Obama’s” plan, does not mean he or she opposes reform in our healthcare industry. If you want more competition, open up the sale of insurance across state lines. If you want to stop waste and fraud in medicare and medicaid, then let’s do it — no new plan required. If you want portability and eliminate preconditions, go for it. If you want to help with the soaring cost of medicines, how about tort reform? Cannot one have a different approach to healthcare reform without being subjected to unfair generalisations by those who try to discredit individuals rather than debate ideas?
