Clarity

I’m glad to see Peter Orszag at least hinted at the key point in the current tug of war over the health care overhaul. Capitol Hill is now divided between those pushing for fundamental health care reform and those working to scuttle it. Only the people in the latter category know that that’s not politically palatable position. So those pushing to prevent action are advocating ‘delay’, which they know will make legislative action impossible.

Getting this truth in advertising on the table is probably the key hurdle for the reformers this week.
