Myths

I just read a really great article from Newsweek. Here in Texas, I hear a lot of arguments against public health care, and while some of them seem legitimate, others seem pretty unfounded and ridiculous (death panels, really?). This article highlights 7 myths that have been used in arguments for and against Obama's Health Care Bill. I wish everyone (especially everyone in Texas) could read this article and get a better understanding of the bill. People might not beg their representatives to vote against the bill if they knew it wouldn't ban private insurance, wouldn't cut medicare, wouldn't give the government the ability to deny anyone health care, and especially wouldn't require physicians to counsel the elderly to end their lives early. Oh and hey, all those people who can't afford proper care right now? They would receive the right to life that the constitution promises.
Okay, I'm done. But read it! Or at least skim.
