Reading Obamacare In Jerusalem

I lay no claim to expertise, wonkish or otherwise, when it comes to health care financing or policy yet, observing the furious debates around Obamacare from here in Israel has been a curious thing. That's because I live in a country where socialized medicine is taken for granted, offers many advantages and, while it has some real problems, is far removed from the ghoulish nightmare of 'death panels' and dystopian hells of health care rationing that seem, from here at least, to be standard fare in the American media.
