Talk politics.

The Affordable Care Act, commonly dubbed Obamacare, turned 1 year old last week.  The confusion over this law has gone from 55% to 53% in that year's time.  There has been a lot of discussion surrounding the law, but not a lot of information about it.  There has been mischaracterizations about it with monikers such as "Death Panels" and "Government Run Healthcare".  There are claims that the government, as opposed to insurance companies, come between you and your doctor.  There has been attempts to adjudicate from the floor of Congress by declaring the law unconstitutional before the Supreme Court has had an opportunity to rule on it; and calling for its repeal.  Some claim that the law has gone too far; and others, like consumer activist Ralph Nader, who claims it didn't go far enough.

Nancy Pelosi stated "We have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it, away from the fog of controversy.”.  The statement seemed pretty ridiculous at the time, but considering the ongoing confusion, the discussion seems to have been about the ideology surrounding it and very little about the substance of the law itself.

Many Americans count on Consumer Report reviews of products before making a market decision.  Many find the Consumer Reports review to be the final and determining factor in some of their biggest buying decisions.  This is what Consumer Reports had to say about the Health Care law.  Interestingly enough, they also include a descriptive PDF download that includes the features in plain English.

What do you think it would take for America to have a discussion about what the Affordable Care Act is and away from personal opinion of what it should be?
