Sam Seder: Jimmy Kimmel Should Have Politicized Healthcare More For His Audience's Benefit

[ProfessorPlum]

Sam Seder discusses how very political the healthcare debate is, and why it is dangerous to "both sides do it" down

1. Very minor, I know, and nothing to do with the topic, BUT....

I love that Sam, in his discourses and rants, almost always says "the reason why IS...." he doesn't then feel it necessary to add a "because" after that.. So many otherwise well-spoken people have fallen into that habit. It makes us old English teachers a little crazy. I've even heard Rhodes scholar Maddow ( and I love her) say that.

2. He is right to not politicize this issue more

gives rise to false equivalencies. While it may sound nice to say rather your a Democrat or a republican we all agree that somebodies baby should not be denied,because of a pre-existing condition. Problem is all Americans don't agree otherwise pre-existing conditions would've been covered before 2014 and republicans wouldn't have just passed a bill allowing states opt out of covering pre-existing conditions.
