Thinking about healthcare reform

Well, recently, like a lot of Americans I've been following and thinking about health care reform. I've also been trying to participate in the discussion about it by posting comments on others' blog posts and articles, e.g. Paul Krugman, Robert Reich, Huffington Post, etc. I thought I'd post some more of my thoughts directly on my blog here, so I'll be doing that after this post. I am also going to repost some of my comments here since some of them have gotten lost. For example, I made numerous comments on Robert Reich's blog but he recently for some reason turned off his comments (fortunately I had saved my comments in a MS Word file).
