Better than nothing?
"Is the House bill better than nothing? I don't think so. It simply throws more money into a dysfunctional and unsustainable system, with only
a few improvements at the edges, and it augments the central role of the investor-owned insurance industry. The danger is that as costs continue
to rise and coverage becomes less comprehensive, people will conclude that we've tried health reform and it didn't work. But the real problem will
be that we didn't really try it. I would rather see us do nothing now, and have a better chance of trying again later and then doing it right."
