The Public Option Is Dead, Dead, Dead
By Justin Gardner | Related entries in Health Care, R.I.P., VideoYesterday, Obama positioned the public option as something that everybody was getting hung up on. Not only that Kent Conrad said he wouldn’t vote for legislation that had it in it and neither would Blue Dog Dems or moderate Repubs. Well, now HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius is continuing the meme that the public option isn’t [...]

Sales 101 – A primer for the Salesman in Chief
By mw | Related entries in Barack, Democrats, Health Care, House, Republicans, SenateIf I were to guess what the American people are looking to buy, it would be something that can be articulated pretty simply and emerges from some basic American values of fairness and common sense. I’d say it is really about these three things:
1. Every American gets a baseline level of solid health care. No one is left behind.
2. No American need be at risk of financial ruin or bankruptcy because they get sick.
3. The program is manageable and fiscally responsible. Americans want to feel reasonably certain we won’t see mushrooming costs like with Medicare and the prescription drug plan.
That’s it, Mr. President. We don’t need “Free! Free! Free! Preventive Care!” or a set of Ginsu steak knives to sweeten the deal. Put together a package that does these three things, pitch them clearly and simply, and you’ll close the sale.

“Bi-Partisan” Grassley Takes Up Death Panel Meme?
By Justin Gardner | Related entries in Health Care, Republicans, VideoI’m becoming more and more convinced that Republicans in Washington simply don’t want any sort of health care reform. Because the way this “death panel” nonsense is picking up steam seems coordinated. The latest is one of the Republicans working on health care legislation in the Senate, Chuck Grassley. Here he is talking in Iowa [...]
