  Prometheus 6 - All respect and no restraint — Authority: 487
  It’s easy to get lost in the weeds when talking about health care reform. But, like all great public issues, the health care debate is fundamentally a debate about values.

• Exactly what are we fighting for, a public option?

  
  Where's the Outrage? — Authority: 538
