When it comes to health care, who and what is "radical"?


The health care debate we're watching just about stuns me. With all the damage the for-profit health industries, especially the insurance corps, have done to individuals, families, businesses, with the demonstrably better outcomes in virtually every other prosperous countries, all of whom involve government in insuring their people, the fact that we still might not even get a "public option" for people who want it, is very hard to accept. In this week's column I call the situation radical, and implicitly ask if reasonable people can think otherwise. The comments from readers following the column answer that question: yes.

And you? What's "radical?"
