Wendy Button, speechwriter for John Edwards, Hillary Clinton, and Barack Obama, has written a compelling account of her shock not being able to afford health coverage in Massachusetts. 
"What makes this a double blow is that my experience contradicts so much of what I wrote for political leaders over the last decade. That's a terrible feeling, too. I typed line after line that said everything Massachusetts did would make health insurance more affordable. If I had a dollar for every time I typed, "universal coverage will lower premiums," I could pay for my own health care at Massachusetts's rates."
"I want health care reform. I need it, but I want Washington to start over. It doesn't make me "un-American" or "astroturf" or "racist." I'm a critic because what Washington is talking about doing has made health insurance unaffordable in Massachusetts."
Red flag, people!  Pass her article on to friends and family.  It's not infammatory, it's a short read, and it makes sense.  Consider this the P.R. antidote to yesterday's CBO Valentine to the Baucus plan.  Via the Corner and HotAir headlines.
