Health Care Debate

Ezra Klein has a post up on an issue that has always bothered me. Whenever the pundits are discussing health care reform those pushing for the status quo like to use Canada and/or England as a comparison. The problem here is that it is a bad comparison. There is no plan or proposal in the pipeline for a single payer system, which is what Canada and England use. This is yet another example of where democrats and liberals allow the debate to be framed by the other side to their disadvantage and the press is too damned lazy to actually do their job. I'll let Mr. Klein do the heavy lifting for me and just suggest you read this.
