I think a very important part of the debate on health care reform, a new round has been fired, as it were, new information is in. I think it will be the grist for the mill for days to come, and I wanted to sort of introduce the subject, because I think it is one of great import. And those interested in this subject I am sure will be interested. I want to refer them directly to an article in the New Republic by Elizabeth McCaughey that speaks as a return to the criticism she has received from the White House with regard to her earlier comments on the Clinton health plan. It gets very specific. The article is entitled 'Clinton's Plan on the Ropes.' It is further entitled 'She's Baaack,' and it is from the New Republic edition of February 20. The war of words has escalated regarding the chasm between what the spin doctors at the White House about Clinton health and what the bill that's been submitted actually.
