There isn't much on which to comment regarding this article, as most of what it says has already been reported, or even harped on, on this blog. However, it's good to realise that Paul Krugman of the New York Times is paying attention:
Mr. Kerry proposes spending $650 billion extending health insurance to lower- and middle-income families. Whether you approve or not, you can't say he hasn't addressed the issue. Why hasn't this voter heard about it?
-snip-
Somewhere along the line, TV news stopped reporting on candidates' policies, and turned instead to trivia that supposedly reveal their personalities. We hear about Mr. Kerry's haircuts, not his health care proposals. We hear about George Bush's brush-cutting, not his environmental policies.
It's a short article, but worth the read. Check it out if you have a couple minutes.
