Here we go again — people seem to be assuming that I’m trying to promote national health insurance with posts like this.

I’m not.

I’m trying to promote being INFORMED about the issues.

Yes, there are exaggerations being promoted by both sides in this debate. But once again, and to my dismay, it’s the Republican side that is floating outright falsehoods like “death panels” and other complete crap.

If you want to make credible arguments based on reality, you need to be informed. Listening to Sarah Palin’s absurd distortions does NOT count.
