Even sadder is that there are people who can see only one side of a dispute. For example, thinking that medical malpractice awards should be limited but doctor incomes should not. Or that it is an infringement on people's freedom to require them to have health insurance but it is not an infringement on their freedom to ban them from buying certain health insurance riders. Or that it is a tax on the middle class to require everyone to carry health insurance, but it is not a tax on the middle class to increase their premiums to cover the costs incurred by the uninsured.

Our whole value system is screwed up and what few values we as a society still do have are only as good as the sound bite.
