CNN has me thinking with an open mind about all sides of the healthcare debate. Everyone has a study about this and an analysis about that but I personally turn to CNN for balance reporting and to FOX and MSNBC for commentary. The following story exemplifies the type reporting I prefer. If you only listen to FOX or MSNBC, that’s your business and I hope your insurance covers the explosion of that vein in your forehead—simmer down now.
If folks spent less time yelling, the valid points about waste, tort reform and administrative mistakes could be heard.
I have always said that healthcare reform needs “teeth.” Not a dental plan but some hard decisions about the money this nation spends for healthcare that could have been avoided. i.e. the Diabetic who refuses to check his blood sugar level; your uninsured uncle who eats every and anything then gets rushed to the ER. Some of the money uncle spent on food and drinks could have gone to a basic health care plan.
We should brace for a battle because one person’s waste is another person’s income.

What is critically important is that Americans have an open debate on healthcare reform. No matter which side of the debate you are on, it is important that the debate happen. It is a hallmark of the American system – freedom of the press, freedom of assembly, freedom of speech.
The name calling and various invectives diminishes the stature of the debate. This is what freedom is all about. This is what so many have lost their lives fighting for and defending!
The debate on health care itself must resolve three critical issues:
1) The right of the people to decide what form of health care delivery system they want;
2)Understanding the real cost of what they are agreeing to — and that it isn’t a cost shift and a series of hidden taxes
3)That access is provided to people who are willing to contribute to the system in whatever large or small way they can
4)That there is serious thought put into how we maintain and improve the delivery of care.
