The right has yet to form an articulate and well-reasoned argument for why we should delay in passing significant health care reform. In fact, it seems that most Republicans and right-wingers are motivated by a desire to see this administration fail and so they have decided to, once again, scare Americans into complacency with misinformation and outright lies. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Their entire movement isn't about offering solutions and can be summed up with the image of people who are claiming Obama wants to kill your grandma. Make no mistake, the people organizing this nonsense (read: lobbyists for insurance companies and hospital conglomerates) know they are full of it. In contrast, the people on the ground are just easily led. They can't understand the merits of our President's plan. Which begs the question: Are conservative radio talk show hosts the ones to blame? Or are progressives at fault for not presenting a clear and persuasive argument? The answer is as simple as those against health care reform. It's the left's fault. They must learn that statements like "Keep your government hands off my Medicare" are laughable in private and a teaching moment everywhere else. As always, Paul Krugman responds with intelligence and clear-headed thinking. Let's hope it's not too late.
