Framing Health Care Reform

We are not usually prone to post discussion of health insurance reform but this well-articulated op-ed in the Portland Oregonian discusses important rhetorical lessons that are just as applicable to the struggle for equality in health itself:

"Thomas Pynchon wrote in "Gravity's Rainbow," "If they can get you asking the wrong questions, they don't have to worry about answers." Those looking to reform health care have taken on, as their central question, the issue of controlling cost: How can we bend the cost curve? For the opponents of reform, there could be no better question to occupy the do-gooders."
