This analysis of President Obama’s proposed health care reforms comes from Shawn Tully of Fortune. It is definitely worth your time. To begin with:
The crucial question about Obama’s agenda has always been whether it really will slow the disastrous rise in health-care spending, or actually increase it while hiding the real costs of the new system. On analyzing the bills, the conclusion is inescapable: Obama promises Americans what appears to be a bargain by heavily subsidizing their premiums. But the only way to pay for what’s really outrageously expensive coverage will be huge tax increases, especially on the same middle class that’s being wooed as the chief beneficiary of reform.
