The New England Journal of Medicine had an excellent article by Dr. Allan Brett detailing some of the misinformation being thrown around during the health care debate. He specifically discusses this concept of “American Values” and the talking point that a single payer health insurance system would be antithetical to those “values.” I personally think he brings up an important point which needs to be addressed by the health care debate, specifically the question: how can we let individuals hijack the discussion by claiming a single-payer system is against the rather homogenously presented concept of “American Values”? Read more here and I’m looking forward to hearing what everyone has to say.
