Watch Out for Falling Scales

From northcountry writing at Booman:

This is huge. 

 

What unites us here today is our shared belief that it will be a far greater America when we get affordable health care for all Americans," said Mr. Stern, who has been one of Wal-Mart's staunchest critics but also publicly invited CEOs to work with him on the health-care problem. "This is not just a moral problem but a major drag on American business competitiveness and job creation."

Mr. Scott said, "We put aside disagreements to drive this debate forward."

AT&T, Intel, and The Communications Workers of America also joined in.

Finally.  And I agree with northcountry: nice and neceessary first step, but we have to kick down the door that just opened a crack or else we'll end up with some nightmare of privatization like Medicare Part D, that does more harm than help.
