In his latest Kaiser Health News column, done in partnership with The New Republic, Jonathan Cohn writes: ''[F]or much of the last year, Republicans have been scaring the bejeezus out of seniors by telling them that Democrats were out to destroy Medicare. But the Roadmap makes clear that it's not Democrats who seek massive, disruptive changes to the program. It's the Republicans. If the coming engagement between the Republicans and President Obama help the public to understand that reality, extending the debate might actually be worth it" (2/8). Read entire column.

Well Reasoned Article
posted by Carol on 9 Feb 2010 at 3:15 pmWhile I am familiar with the writer's work in other venues, I was particularly impressed with his 3 pronged approach in this article; i.e., he speaks comfortably in the public, political, and quasi-corporate vernaculars. Well done and well reasoned.
