I just listened to Dylan Ratigan's Morning Meeting, featuring Ratigan interviewing a man who represented some american alliance of something, who were organizing people to appear at town hall meetings protesting health care reform. When asked by Ratigan to offer something to the conversation about reforming health care, this man's initial offerings involved a lot of interruption and saying that he didn't want government paying for health care.
Ratigan did an excellent job of steering him to the policy issue: we spend the highest percentage of our GDP to receive the 37th best health care in the world. Part of the way he did so was by calling the man on his tactics..."if you want to play silly word games on cable television, do so on some other show..." and "as long as I'm the host on this show, I get to determine the questions" while steering the show's attention back to policy.
UPDATE: Commenter ARtransplantinMO recalled Ratigan using the word "stupid" instead of "silly" word games. I think AR is right, so I'm posting this update.
Ratigan also seemed to be supporting the Wyden/Bennett proposal. I'm ignorant of Ratigan's politics and the Wyden/Bennett proposal so I've got some research to do. What I found admirable was the way the man from the anti reform group was steered to actually discuss the problem: what are we going to do about the millions of Americans who do not have access to adequate health care?
There's something important here. I'm sure that some of the people who oppose health care reform do so for reasons that make them intractable. But there may be those who are rejecting it out of knee jerk conservatism, feelings of mistrust for government programs, etc.
