The Mahablog: To Your Health

Last summer I attended a progressive conference held at NYU and hosted by The Nation and the New Democracy Project. One of the many excellent panel discussions was on health care. Panelists and attendees split into two camps. The first camp favored universal, single-payer health care but believed this goal would have to be reached slowly and incrementally because of the power of anti-human rightie whackjobs in Washington who obstruct reform. The second camp favored universal, single-payer health care but said the hell with being incremental. Let's go for it now.

I was in the first camp for several years, but I've moved over to the second camp.
