Some people argue that if we do nothing about health care we will simply continue to have what we've got now. That isn't true, however. The New York Times' Reed Abelson offers this:

“People think if we do nothing, we will have what we have now,” said Karen Davis, the president of the Commonwealth Fund, a nonprofit health care research group in New York. “In fact, what we will have is a substantial deterioration in what we have.”
