There is undoubtly some sub-text at play that makes the current health care reform debate, with it attendant polemics,
more than a curious sideshow. Afterall, these are all highly intelligent people, and the views held on all sides are held with conviction. But the debate seems locked in a context it’s participants are unwilling to confront. So Wendell Potter’s forty minutes on Bill Moyer’s PBS show Friday offered a depressing picture of the greed motivating the health care system, greed driven by a fanatical obedience to Wall
Street.
