When Yeats wrote "The best lack all conviction, while the worst are full of passionate intensity," he could have

been talking about the current political situation: from Iraq to health-care reform, the worst are still in power, and opposition is timorous at best. Here we will review health care reform politics, and propose (and discuss) next steps toward real health-care justice.

Learning Objectives:

• Discuss next steps for health care reform
• Review health care reform politics
