The question I find most intriguing- and most practical- is what, exactly, is America thinking? James suggested that conservatives egos are too big to allow them to be impartial- maybe. However, I think there really gotta be more to elected officials making choices that harm their country.
The body economic was an intriguing book that makes its point well; however, we all know that realistically, one book doesn’t change much. What we can get from the book- and I think many of us did- is an appreciation of the subject, a new way of thinking about health and public policy, and ideas on what we should do moving forward. I know that I’m interested in hearing more of the debate on these issues and seeing how things develop- hopefully for the better.
