I have been writing for weeks about healthcare reform and I it is time to do it again. In fact, time is becoming critical. You probably heard Sen. Jim DeMint saying last week, "If we''re able to stop Obama on this, it will be his Waterloo. It will break him." Well, that''s their goal and they have pulled out all the stops.

In the longer term, there's also the quoteisn of test availability. Several months ago, I heard a commentator (IIRC, Mark Steyn) make the claim that there are more MRI machines in one American city (IIRC, Philadelphia) than in all of Canada. MRI machines are expensive and so are the operators. I don't know if the claim is true but it does give me pause.Under government run health care, one way to lower costs is to cut back on the availability of expensive technology like CT machines, MRIs, and perhaps even better mammogram technology. As existing machines become unsupportable, they may not be replaced. That becomes a defacto means of rationing health care.
