This article is the second of a point / counterpoint series on Mr. Obama's health care plan.

This is another example of liberal incrementalism at its finest.

This country has done quite well without health care reform for 233 years, so what are a few more months? Other leaders have said that they would not tolerate delay, but they've generally been from countries we didn't like very much. (Click title to read full article)
