A Liberal Republican's View on Health Care Reform

In Sara Yakin's article, Does Obama really want to kill old people?, she discusses the many misconceptions about the health care bill. She introduces her readers to the topic with a touch of humor, "In this time of uncertainty, when I heard the rumors that buried in the new health care bill was a government conspiracy to kill people, I was all ears," and follows up with her own research. "And to my surprise, not only could I not find any hidden passages, but the word death was only mentioned one time. Part 2, Section B, Paragraph G, Line 2, Insert 1.
'in the case where the deficiency is found to be a direct proximate cause of death of a resident of the facility, an amount not to exceed $100,000;', " from a verifiable source, which is vital to the argument she poses. With her own research, Yakin clearly demonstrates how the credibility of the Republican party has decreased. She suggests that, "Republicans, get out their glass, set down with a lawyer and a cup of coffee, and really read what the bill suggests. Find the real flaws, state the real arguments, and really change people’s minds. Lets mention why some parts of this health care bill, read more like tax laws are Medicare reforms." That Yakin offers her solution to this problem is one of the greatest strengths of this article. Her article is an excellent view point from a Republican stand point, it would be extremely insightful if she were to do a review on the main points of the health care bill herself.
