Reply to Comments on Health Care Legislation Congress

I have received two comments regarding the recent health care legislation. The one I just approved, from Congressman Chris Murphy, is obviously thoughtful and took considerable time and effort to draft. I have some reactions to that comment, as well as the comment received earlier in the week, but I will be deferring response to both comments until this weekend, when I am back home and have an opportunity to look at some research I have accumulated on health care. I am honored that Congressman Murphy, a thoughtful and dedicated public servant, considered this blog of sufficient value that he would make the effort to comment. I owe him and all of you reading this blog a better effort than I can make from my hotel room after a lengthy conference.
