		<description>Thank you.  I wanted to let readers know that this debate has been taking place for years, not just the past 3 months.

I&#039;m so glad you enjoyed reading it!</description>

		<description>I love the opening sentence.   With &#039;amalgamation&#039; and &#039;demagoguery&#039; you&#039;re on your way to The Ecomonist!  I like how you brought in historical examples and I definitely agree with the last paragraph in your post.</description>

		<description>Mel,

I couldn&#039;t agree more with you.  The problem now is most people don&#039;t know what to believe.  It is difficult to form an opinion when you hear people talking about &quot;death panels,&quot; and &quot;nazis.&quot;  This is why people don&#039;t like politics, or trust politicians.  I have faith that in the end, the American people will truly decide this process.</description>

		<description>As someone who has very mixed and complicated views on the idea of national health care it is frustrating and disheartening to see those with extreme agendas and motives supposedly representing my perspective. I think there are a lot of us who feel we have things to shout about that are not out to misinform or mislead. I want an honest and open debate!</description>
