Has anyone else noticed that two of the conservative responses to health care reform are directly opposed to one another?

I know, it’s not exactly a revelation that conservative ideas tend not to work if you try to hang onto more than one of them at a time, but this struck me as the sort of thing that could lead to a real deer in the headlights set of interview questions.

Often in legislation, you need to compromise away a minor point to achieve a major victory. Sometimes you need to compromise away a major point to win even a minor victory. It happens. Indeed, it should happen. That's what the process is about. But sometimes, the minor point contains the whole game. I believe we have reached one of those times, and the President should publicly declare that he will veto any health care bill that fails to provide Medicare payment for end-of-life consultation.

Many of us have been following the voting on Change.org. For those of you unfamiliar, Change.Org has been running a competition to bring the best ideas in the country forward with the intent to present them to the incoming administration and to help support their implementation. (Note, this site is NOT affiliated with the Obama site at change.gov.)

The process started with a request for ideas in 21 categories, such as "Fair Trade", "Global Warming", and "Health". As ideas were submitted, users commented on the ideas and voted for the best ones. Voting in that round closed on December 31, 2008 after 7,000 ideas had been submitted and 250,000 votes cast. The top three ideas in each category moved on to the second round of voting which began on Monday, January 5, 2009 and continues to January 15, 2009.

The top ten ideas from Round 2 will be presented to the administration on January 16th at an event at the National Press Club in Washington, DC. Other assistance is planned to help the proponents of winning ideas advocate for their vision
