The point is that there needed to be a real open debate on the subject, there was not. Obama's approach to this complicated issue, was his way or no way.

it's a bit mysterious that you don't seem to pay any attention to any of the....um....medical situations in the states that call out for the reforms,

This comment assumes there was not a better way to address reform, I think there is.

no matter how watered down they may be by the obama administrations mistaken approach that had them taking seriously what conservatives said. stuff like this:

maternal mortality rates have gone from 6.6/100k in 1987 to 13.3/100k in 2008. the problem, as this report makes clear, is really the radically unequal quality of care afforded different populations in the united states under the system that's being changed.
so these are people dying in childbirth. there's lots of other examples. but clearly the question is how the insurance companies will react.

It is frustrating reading reports like this when from the start they make it clear there is a political agenda. In the first paragraph they make this statement which is false:

Approximately half of these deaths could be prevented
if maternal health care were available, accessible and
of good quality for all women in the USA.

There are almost no women in this country who can not get access to good prenatal care. How is the report to have any credibility?
