This won’t last long. Soon ‘Town Halls’ will be stacked with socialists and well-scripted dialogs.

Well, it’s a real problem: many issues of national importance have become too technical to be readily understood by nonspecialists even if they have the time to review all the relevant opinion and supporting documentation.

This isn’t true just for “healthcare reform”, it’s true for many of the issues on which national policy has to be made, and on many of these issues inaction - “kicking the problem down the road” - eventually becomes the worst of the available options.

In this situation claiming that we can’t do something because our elected representatives do not have am individually detailed grasp of the issues becomes a perpetual excuse for doing nothing.

Congress has a number of research and analysis tools available, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) is one example, and the importance put on the OMB “scoring” of various health-care proposals is an example of how important such analysis has become.

IMO sbout the best citizens can hope for in this regard is that over time such bodies become increasingly more capable less politicized, and their findings (which are occasionally going to be contrary to those that are expected or demanded on either sides of the political spectrum) increasingly gain in public confidence.

This problem isn’t unique to government, it’s increasingly true for upper management throughout our society, at some point you have to choose your experts and make your choices, before events make them for you, and imperfect or incomplete knowledge is not an excuse for inability to make policy.

See post #6 there is a video of Acorn bringing in the victims and if they sign onto this plan they could very well be victims through their refusal to read or believe what is in this bill.
