President Obama debunks the myths around health insurance reform, and discusses the public option proposal in which many of them are rooted -- but he focuses his address on the stark moral and historical turning point at which we find ourselves: "This is our chance to march forward. I cannot promise you that the reforms we seek will be perfect or make a difference overnight. But I can promise you this: if we pass health insurance reform, we will look back many years from now and say, this was the moment we summoned what’s best in each of us to make life better for all of us. This was the moment we built a health care system worthy of the nation and the people we love. This was the moment we earned our place alongside the greatest generations. And that is what our generation of Americans is called to do right now."

1. Good speech. But we don't really know what the health care bill
will look like. That is why people are having trouble getting behind health care reform. We need to be able to talk about a solid proposal.

3. we should be able to force Fox News to play his message in prime time...
as a requirement for their broadcasting license to provide "news"

Preaching to the choir.
