Two Op-Eds

Two op-eds in The New York Times discuss the issue of healthcare with two different goals in mind.

The first op-ed analyzes the reaction that the elderly across the country have shown in response to the fear-mongering about cuts in Medicare that have been propagated by Republican leaders and representatives, as well as the right-wing media. The op-ed also addresses the hypocrisy in the politics that Republicans are following, choosing to incite the elderly to defend something that they, the Republicans, would normally oppose and advocate against.

The second op-ed is written by Paul Krugman and describes the proposed American healthcare plan with other healthcare systems around the world in perspective. He concludes that it is more similar to the existing Swiss system, but that there are better plans out there, such as the French and the Canadian ones.
