odd time signatures: Standing in the gap: Health care reform may come too late for some

    This sounds more like an argument for trying to reduce unemployment. That would be the quickest and easiest way to increase coverage.

    The stimulus didn't do it. President Obama has not made much of an effort to help businesses get back on their feet. If Obama wants to get more people insured quickly, he needs to do something to put people back to work. Instead of wasting money on a second stimulus, cut taxes for businesses. Cut payroll taxes.

    Oh, and along the way, we may actually pull out of this recession.

    Not that I disagree w/reducing unemployment (as I continue to try to hunt down the perfect job, make it mine), but it misses the issue of ageism (which does exist) and the self-employed/small businesses (who are big drivers of innovation, job creation).
