Feature: Debating Health Care

With the possible exception of wars, few national issues have stirred Americans' passions as much as our current debate over reforming our health care system. Here on Blogcritics, articles arguing the pros and cons of health care reform have reached impressive numbers, and the issue is being discussed and argued everywhere from Capitol Hill to your office water cooler. Here then, is Blogcritics' contribution to the national dialogue on this critical topic affecting every person in America. The feature is open to all writers, and will be updated continuously as new articles are published. We hope these essays from Blogcritics' “sinister cabal of superior writers” will provide you with much to contemplate as you read them. Welcome to Debating Health Care!
