Health Care Reform

Hi Humans,
Let me elaborate more on Health Care Reform (even though it won't affect us dogs directly, I am concerned about you guys). You humans seem to agree that there are problems in the human health care system. It's the solution that you disagree on. The fact is, it is a complex problem for which none of you really know the answer. Also, you humans are very impatient and expect timely perfection (and you can't agree on what that perfection would be even if it were possible). The reality is that whatever course on which you will embark will result in failure if you define success as perfection as you see it. If you are as smart as us dogs, you will allow yourselves to fall on your face a few times until you arrive at some practical solution, and even then it will probably always be a work in progress as you try to keep pace with changing technical and social realities. That's just the way it probably will be. However, if you insist on some idealogical positions to the right or the left which prevent you from agreeing on anything, you will not even get started until reality pulls you by the ears and forces you into some less than ideal disaster averting semi-solution (as we saw with the financial system at the end of the Bush administration).
