"Last week, Joe Carter praised The Atlantic’s forthcoming (mammoth) article on health care as “one of the most sensible and pragmatic articles on the health care debate you’re likely to ever read.” I couldn’t agree more. Goldhill’s analysis is even-handed and thorough.

That's how the article begins, which you can read at First Things, where I am honored to be an occasional contributor to their blog First Thoughts.  Also, don't miss Eric Chevelen's piece, which I am still digesting.  It dovetails quite well with my own reflections.
