If Fox entertainment-newscasters are upset by Obama, then something is right. And, if someone doesn't see the need to get momentum moving on healthcare reform, they are either too isolated from regular people, have no compassion, or lack intellect. I would expect someone who 'reports' on healthcare to be aware of the continuing escalating costs and dire disease state epidemics (diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular, etc.) that are currently exploding--and the need to act now.
Why act now? Well, let's turn to some real reporting from the NYTimes and David Leonhardt:
The United States now devotes one-sixth of its economy to medicine. Divvy that up, and health care will cost the typical household roughly $15,000 this year, including the often-invisible contributions by employers. That is almost twice as much as two decades ago (adjusting for inflation). It’s about $6,500 more than in other rich countries, on average.
Andrew Hyman and Jarrod Moses do a good job of sticking to the issue, being fair, and not buying into the pseudo-journalist hijinks. Though, I'm not sure why an entertainment mogul like Jarrod Moses is being interviewed about healthcare? Thoughts? Maybe Fox needed someone and he was available? Mayhaps a connection based decision? I don't question his POV and he seems knowledgeable. But why him?
