Notice: The 
Democratic proposals for health care
During the 2004 campaign, Paul Krugman complained that the media was spending a lot of time covering the horse race and very little time on policy proposals. Lately he's been devoting a lot of his columns (BugMeNot) to the issue of health care policy. Pride, Prejudice, Insurance (notes, responses); Health Economics 101; A Private Obsession (on ideology); A Healthy New Year (on evaluating policy proposals). Edwards Gets It Right (Edwards proposal); Obama in Second Place (Obama proposal); Health Care Hopes (Hillary Clinton proposal). More inside.

Nice work, russilwvong. Thanks!
Much appreciated.
Thanks! And thanks for running this site, jca. I'm planning to post political stuff here instead of MetaFilter--taking a broad view of "political", including governance as well as the struggle for power--and to comment on stuff that looks interesting.
