About halfway through writing this column, I discovered I just don’t want to talk about, read about, or hear about health-care reform anymore. I’m a huge fan of Real Clear Politics and I check it everyday. But I get this vague feeling of nausea when I see that 70–80 percent of the columns are about health care. Health-care politics, health-care reconcilliation, health-care wonkery, health-care history, health care, health care, health care! I feel like Yosemite Sam with the coconuts (start at around 2:08):

That said, if you must read about health care — particularly, if you must read non-NRO content – then I think this should be the last thing you read for a while. Tevi Troy has written a monster, omnibus essay for Commentary on the history of health care as a political and policy issue.
