Sifting through that a bit, you're at my point.

The initial declaration for the need of Health Care Reform was to curb the exponentially increasing costs for health care. In many cases, the current administration and Congress has done a relatively good job identifying problems. My issue with the above mentioned politicians is their execution of the solution to the problems they effectively identify.

Health Care Reform has evolved from something necessary to curb costs into a plan so that all citizens have health care.

I think you have that reversed.

Were it not for progressive reformists and the ideal of a single payer system, we wouldn't be having this conversation.

"progressive reformists"...now there's an oxymoron for ya JD..

and you should substitute fallacy for ideal (of a single payer system)..too many examples of utter failure around the world to be considered an ideal in any sense of the word...like socialism and communism
