"Simple" Health Care Reform

Uwe E. Reinhardt sighs and rebuts Noonan et al.

One would imagine a columnist would be able to grasp some essential and very well-disseminated arguments as to why a stripped down health bill that just protected us from the worst abuses of the system just cannot work; but what matters to Noonan appears to be how she feels at any given moment. What policy reality is - why the Senate bill is about as moderate and sane a plan as any we have on the table - is apparently irrelevant.
