Editorials And Opinions

A Selection of Editorials and Opinions Health Care Reform, As The Insurers See It - New York Times Health care reform is simply too important to be hijacked by ideology, divisive rhetoric and the settling of old scores (Michael Tuffin, Letter to the Editor, 6/8). President"s Health Care Plan? Hah! China"s Scorn Is Deserved - Sacramento Bee The Chinese own so much of our debt that they have a keen interest in U.S. fiscal probity, and apparently a dim view of our ability to achieve it. The mandarins of a notionally communist government are now forced to harangue the world"s emblematic capitalist country about its ever-spiraling public debt (Rich Lowry, 6/9).
