ABC nails it.

One of the clearest, most concise explanations of current health reform controversies I’ve seen. And of course ABC makes it impossible to embed and difficult to find. Hopefully this will get you there. (You will have to sit through a short commercial.)

And while were on the subject of health care myths:

“Here is the real bottom line: The current state of health care is unethical. It is neither just nor fair. There is no morally defensible reason why some Americans get excellent medical care at costs they can afford and other Americans lose their homes or go into bankruptcy attempting to secure treatment for a seriously ill loved one. The current proposals being debated in Congress all go a long way towards making health care in America more just. At the same time, there is nothing in the current proposals that threatens a patient’s right to choose, a critical feature of an ethically acceptable health care system.” - Association of Bioethics Program Directors
