All's health that ends health
The second health care reform war is on. The most visible front in the struggle is the town hall meeting. People like
Bob MacGuffie
are loading these meetings with people who subvert discussion forums on health care and turn them into shouting matches. This is leading congresscritters like Bloomington's Blue Dog Baron Hill (D-IN) to
avoid the town hall format
altogether. Who's to blame? There's
plenty to go around
. Well the Democrats blame the Republicans. Republicans retort that this is a grass-roots rebellion. As is usually the case with such
wide sweeping legislation
, there are
contradictory claims to be resolved
, leaving reform open to all sorts of misinformation. Partisans seem more interested in sinking Team Obama than actually making helpful and thoughtful contributions to the very complicated process of reform.
