Factcheck.org, a financially independent, non-partisan voters’ advocacy group, published an excellent article debunking seven of the biggest myths about the health care reforms under discussion. Regardless of your politics, there’s probably something in here that will disappoint or offend you, which is usually the best sign of true non-partisanship.

Also, PDXers who are uninsured or underinsured might want to take a look at the above YouTube video of my friend Sandra’s presentation at Ignite Portland 6. Unfortunately, she doesn’t offer any quick or easy solutions to the healthcare crisis (then again, it wouldn’t be much of a crisis if those solutions existed, would it?). But it’s a great presentation, and knowing some of this stuff ahead of time is probably better than finding it out at the worst possible moment.
