    This year Americans want to talk about health care – and most of us want to talk about covering the uninsured and reducing the costs of health care – but often what we get from the media is just cynical double talk. Case in point: a column by Robert Samuelson in the September 10 Washington Post and this week’s Newsweek.

    Mandates were also a central issue in last night's Democratic Party debate, with Sen. Hillary Clinton backing them and Sen. Barack Obama opposed. It was one of the few points of contention in an otherwise cordial faceoff.

    For the record: I'm opposed to mandates for two reasons. First and foremost, they're bad politics.

    Editor’s Note: “The 2008 election campaign is almost sure to be a health care election — even before we’ve done much organizing at all,” said America’s Future co-director Roger Hickey at a conference sponsored by New Jersey Citizen Action on November 13. “So imagine what will happen once we get going.”

    In this keynote speech at the “Conference on Health Care for All: Real Solutions for New Jersey and the Nation” in New Brunswick, N.J., Hickey outlines what he sees as possible.
