The Health Care debate

The real issue on Health Care is not whether we need health care reform it is how.

It use to be that we would recognize a problem and we would discuss it. We may disagree
on how to resolve it but at least we agreed that there was a problem.

Now when people disagree on how to resolve an issue they call each other names rather then debate the actual issue. The American people seem to believe the set of facts that their ideology leans them towards. What the real facts are is very hard to determine. It is all smoke and mirrors on both sides of this argument and for the most part the media just reports what it hears.

Implementation of any proposal and the unintended consequences of health care reform are what I am worried about the most.

I am against any proposal that would create another bureaucracy like the IRS that will have commissioners deciding our fate and promulgating rules w/o congressional over site. I have heard the comment that we already have that and while that may be true it does not mean we need another layer of it.
