I don't know when the New York Times worked up the courage to actually propose some health care solutions, but it's certainly a refreshing change. This article explaining that the health care deduction on your income taxes is an absurdly regressive measure that entrenches the perverse and inequitable elements of the system is great stuff, but watching it venture a step further and sketch out how the money could be re-channeled to create universal care is a near-revelation. I didn't know newspapers could be so constructive! And then to straight up explain that Americans will resist this out of self-interest...I mean, man, I need a cigarette over here.
Whew.
