The government will either make things better or worse if some form of healthcare "reform" passes. They may end up doing both (making it better for some, worse for others). Whatever the merits of whatever proposals are being evaluated, however, isn't it the merits that should determine what unfolds?
Not if you're Jesse Jackson. He argues in a
recent editorial that
The Senate should honor the legacy and service of its colleague and friend not
by fine speeches, but by clear action. Democrats should join together to pass
Kennedy's health care bill,
So a bill so momentous it will impact 1/6 of the economy and every one of the hundreds of millions of Americans is to be passed because one 77 year old senator came to the end of his long, full life? Of all the reasons I've heard for and against health care, this is by far the least persuasive.
