A Selection Of Opinions And Editorials

Obama"s Health Cost Illusion Wall Street Journal The President"s main case for reform is rooted in false claims and little evidence (6/8). Paying For Universal Health Coverage New York Times For Congress and the administration to keep the promise of comprehensive health care reform, they will have to find the political will to pay for universal coverage and other investments that are needed right away but will not produce quick savings. The cost could reach $1.5 trillion over the next decade (6/6). Study: Maternity Leave Offers Economic Benefits Miami Herald A new study suggests that providing mothers with pay and job security both before and after childbirth could bestow economic benefits upon us all (Brett Graff, 6/7). Harry And Louise Have Changed Washington Post Many have expressed amazement that the interest groups historically opposed to fixing the health system seem ready to work with the reformers. Their public-spiritedness reflects enlightened self-interest: The health system is so unstable that even the drug industry and the insurance companies are worried that it will crash on top of them (E.J. Dionne, Jr., 6/8).

A Few Symptoms Washington Post President Obama laid down more specific markers than he had previously about his preferences for health care reform... Given the high stakes involved in an overhaul of this magnitude, it would be unfortunate indeed if health reform were to be a one-party endeavor (6/8).
