Ummm....all you just did was to post an LA Times editorial that disagrees with the Wall St. Journal editorial. That's fair, of course. However, since both are editorials (and I took pains to note my source was), it's a bit disingenuous of you to treat your editorial as "fact", not opinion.


Well you're right but the point I was trying to make is that the Wall Street Journal editorial board tries to paint California's health care reform in the most dismissive and pessimistic color possible. No one here, not the Democrats and not the Schwarzenegger administration and certainly not the L.A. Times would agree on such a dour and dismissive assesment.

Now why would a bunch of Wall Street fatcat$ try to downplay, ridicule, and discourage reform on health care I wonder? No matter the amount of naysaying, reform is going to happen because the situation has deteriorated significantly since Hillary 1st tried it. The old slogans of "socialism socialism" aren't going to work when EVERYONE has a story to tell about the current status quo now.

I expect this issue to come to a boil sometime next year and especially when "Sicko is released on DVD and more people get a chance to see it.
