Let's focus

After months and months of flap about "single-payer" and "public options", not to mention the stupidity of "death panels" and "pulling the plug on grandma" and "socialist medicare", isn't everyone getting a little tired of talking about the United States health care system?
Particularly irrelevant now, I think, are people who are still wanting to discuss the overall shape of health care reform and how it really should be done differently yada yada yada.
Here's where its at: In 30 or 40 days, the members of Congress are going to be voting on something. Whether it will include a “public option” is the only real issue left, and whether enough Democrats will vote for it to pass it is the only real question.
