The Time is Now for Health Care Reform

I've been meaning to do an extensive post on this topic. It's been very much in the news lately with bills appearing before Congress and the Senate and Barack Obama's press conference tonight. However, I don't think I can say it any better than Massimo Pigliucci. Except to add, as Rachel Maddow did, that there is no such thing as moving too fast on an issue that has been in the works for over 60 years. It's also worth noting as Nate Silver did that money from the health insurance industry has a huge effect on the voting patterns of Congressional and Senate Democrats.

This has been one of the moral failings of our country for too long. We can definitely do better.
