Health Care is one sixth of the American Economy

We can not rush health care reform.  The two parts--coverage and cost containment are not the same.  If we get this wrong the ability to fix it in the future is much more difficult.   We need to get the funding right.  We need to make sure innovation continues.  We need to make sure that the health care of the future is better than what we have today.  We need for health care to be better for the generation after the baby boomers.  Any one who thinks that public health care is simple should understand that health care is bigger in the economy than GM.  The politicians should take their time and get it right.
