Since there has been some much talk about health care reform lately, I simply decided to gather links to the many statements, articles, and so on here for your reading pleasure.
We'll try to keep it updated, and be sure to check out our special section on health care as well. We put it together when this debate started last year, so it needs some updating, but there are still some good resources there.
I'm sorry for the lack of formatting, but there is so much that this is easiest and quickest!
