Beware of Comprehensive Health Care Reform

Obama said we can all have the same healthcare option as Congress.

Yet the proposal does not include this.

We do know Congress voted to exempt themselves from healthcare reform.

I was listening to National Public Radio's morning "news" Monday on the way to work, during which the newsperson read the apparently "factual" statement that the United States is the only developed country that does not provide "comprehensive" health care coverage.

Perhaps only those of us who are highly trained ideological vigilantes would leap to attention on the use of the word comprehensive. To most people, the word comprehensive sounds good. Of course, those who opposed "comprehensive immigration reform" a few seasons ago might have started twitching on hearing the word applied to health care reform.
