Notice how all the health reform critics sound alike? Well, they're all working from the same playbook. Catchy talking-points handed out by the usual D.C. suspects -- insurance companies, hospitals, Republicans. But if the talking points are catchy, the answers are credible:
* "Take more time..." [The first proposals for government health reform began as far back as WWI!]
* "Get it right..." [The right data to get it right has been available for years!]
* "The bill is too long & no one's read it..." [Bingo, the definition of any major legislation!]
* "It means socialism..." [Like American capitalism hasn't been quasi-socialist ever since the New Deal!]
Next point....

I know I tend to simplify but it seems no matter what the talking points, bad or good, positive or negative, progressive or somewhat retro, the Republicans will STILL remain the party of "no".
