Imagine -- an editorial in the San Francisco Chronicle of all places that actually takes President Obama to task on some elements of his health care agenda.
And the toughest question posed is also the most obvious:
Finally, neither Congress nor the president has spelled out an answer to the most nagging question about health care reform: how we're going to pay for it. This is no small question. Independent experts have put the cost for reform at about $1.5 trillion over 10 years, and much of that has to be paid up-front. How the country pays this bill is likely to be one of the toughest negotiation points of the discussion.
That is a discussion we all expect to occur next month – and we’re looking forward to it.
