11/3: Five Things That Scare Me

Posted by Editor on November 3, 2009 · 1 Comment 

Robert Englund, the Original Freddy Krueger: Normally, I embrace fear. I traffic in fear. Fear has been good to yours truly.

But if there’s anything scaring me these days, it’s the blatant misuse of fear in regards to health care reform. I am appalled at the brazen lies being propagated by opponents of reform specifically to scare the elderly and other vulnerable segments of our society. Pushing untruths about “death panels” and “pulling the plug on Grandma” are not helping the debate.

If we’re going to achieve effective health care in this country, we need an honest public discussion based on facts: how do we pay for reform, how will it work, who will be covered?
