Two good articles on health care: David Brooks and Paul Krugman. They approach it from two different places, of course.
Brooks concludes:
If this process goes as it has been going — with grand rhetoric and superficial cost containment — then we will be far better off killing this effort and starting over in a few years.That would be a catastrophe not only for the Democrats, but for the millions of people who don't have access to health care.
Update: Steven Pearlstein had a third perspective a few days ago that's worth reading.

The Pearlstein article is very good.
It is no fun being self-employed and trying to pay for even the barest of insurance coverage. The insurance company bends over backwards to not pay out on claims. But, boy-oh-boy, they never miss a chance to raise the premium whenever possible.
