The Ashes

I am becoming increasingly distraught at the hostile turn the debate over healthcare reform has taken. The tactics employed by conservative opponents of late could be generously described as unethical. It’s difficult to address the issue without succumbing to temptations to lower one’s self to the abysmal standards set by the opponents of reform. I strongly dislike using partisan terms, but the distastefulness has come almost entirely from one side of the aisle, the side with whom I once proudly aligned myself but with which I have grown increasingly disenchanted over the past several years.

The falsehoods spreading in regards to universal healthcare are staggering, and I make no claims of addressing them all here. Instead, this is just a sampling of misrepresentations and misinformation skewing facts in the healthcare debate.
