I'm not normally a fan of yours, but you've been getting some excellent, respectful, substantive, and exclusive news out of these interviews. I'm a right-winger, and I completely agree with you on this. Although I think this would hurt the Democratic party to pass it, I would still far rather not have it passed. Great work Mike.

Yes, our country desperately needs reform of how we provide healthcare to our citizens. Yes, it will take the inclusion of all Americans to create a Risk Pool large enough to bring down costs. No, it should not be done via capitulation by Government to the wants of Big Business. Capitalism does reward societies which employ it's economy model - but it is not the answer to all of societies needs. In fact, basic needs of citizens should <i>never</i> be held hostage to the machinations of the capitalists - because their only goal is to increase profits, not to provide service. It's why Police, Fire, Library, Sewer and other basic needs are provided through public services, and not private industry (although in many cases Trash removal and other ancillary services are contracted out by governments to private companies). The penultimate question then becomes, "Is healthcare a <b>basic need</b> or just an ancillary service"?
