Eastaugh: the right argument for once!
This guy, Dr Steven Eastaugh, does know how to sell nationalized health care. He lays out the facts and uses effective arguments, all presented in a lively fashion.
He's an adviser to Obama, which is a positive indicator... but why isn't he speaking to a wider audience?
If I were in Obama's position I'd call a Special Joint Session of Congress in prime time, have Eastaugh give the same lecture he gives in the video linked above, and require each member of Congress to take notes and recite the main points of the speech afterward. Any idiot who doesn't pick up the main points would then be publicly named as Persona Non Grata, never to receive any pork or favors. Idiots would still be free to vote against the proposal, but the people would know who's an idiot. ¶ 5:44 PM
