Compare And Contrast

Ed Morrissey offeres an interesting explanation for why the US health care system is much better thought of than you might have assumed, if you listened to the President.

The Rasmussen poll may test the axiom that people don’t appreciate what they have until they lose it.  We haven’t lost the medical system that generates such high favorability ratings, but we’re being threatened with its loss — and that has people reevaluating the system.

Perhaps. But I would like to offer a different theory.

Right now, we are being asked to consider sweeping changes in our health care system by… legislators who can’t even be bothered to read the bills they vote on.

So, the American people cannot help but think of Congress, even as they consider changes to the health care they receive.

I’m not surprised that doctors, nurses, and the rest of our team look pretty good, compared to the current leadership of the House and Senate.  I’ll take THAT comparison…  All. Day. Long.
