If you still have doubts about...

...health care reform, you should take a look at this clip of Denis Cortese, President and CEO of the Mayo Clinic, on Charlie Rose:

He explains, very simply, that without reform Medicare will bankrupt the country by 2015 or 2017 (you can fast forward to about 21:00 into the conversation). In other words, the choice between reform and the status quo is a false one, because the looming Medicare crisis will make our current troubles look like a day at the beach.
