KHN Column: Reminding ourselves what has gone right with the health law

In this Kaiser Health News column, former Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle, who has a new book about the health care debate, writes: "Six months after the passage of health care reform, it is easy to forget how far we have come in such a short time. With the daily drumbeat of attacks on the law, full of distortions and appeals to people's fears, it is no wonder that many Americans still have serious doubts about whether they will be better off. So this is a good time to remind ourselves of what has gone right with the law - and how much better our health care will be in the coming years if we give the new law a chance and work together to make it a success" (10/4).
