<title>Maybe Health Care Just Isn&apos;t Funny</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>Sen. Ron Wyden&#8217;s office is sending out email touting this video, <a title="Stand Tall for America | Senator Ron Wyden | Stand Tall for Health Care Reform" href="http://www.standtallforamerica.com/page/s/careyoukeep">Senator Ron Wyden | Stand Tall for Health Care Reform</a>.</p>

<p>They offer reviews such as &#8220;Ron Wyden Makes Health Care Reform Funny&#8230; [a] truly funny and risky political ad&#8221; and &#8220;The most entertaining political advertisement I&#8217;ve seen in a long time&#8221;.</p>

<p>So, judge for yourself.  </p>

<p>I didn&#8217;t like it at all.  But I do like the slogan: &#8220;Are you ready for universal health care that can never be taken away?&#8221;</p>]]>

<title>Krugman Blogs Health Care</title>
<description><![CDATA[<br /><a title="Krugman - NYT Web Journal" href="http://krugman.page.nytimes.com/?oref=slogin">Paul Krugman blogs on healthcare</a>:<blockquote>I&#8217;m amazed at the way &#8220;government health care&#8221; is still a scare-term, when 90 million Americans already get insurance from Medicare, Medicaid, or other government programs including [federal employees] and the <span class="caps">V.A. </span>system &#8212; and most of them find their care just fine. Actually, government insurance is already bigger in dollar terms than private insurance (private spending is 55 percent of health spending, but a substantial fraction of that is out of pocket.) And somehow nobody notices.</blockquote>]]>
