I have been dreading this day for almost five years. Bill Clinton, a man known for both his incredible weaknesses as much as for his successes was, above all, candid about his goals for his health care program. In September 1993 he noted that revamping our system would result in both winners and losers. It was his belief that the final outcome, universal health insurance coverage, outweighed the costs. He acknowledged that the healthy and wealthy would have to pitch in, for the good of society, if the unhealthy and the poor were to be guaranteed access. He wanted to level the playing field. You may fault his program, G-d knows I did at the time, but you have to admire his candor.
Candor is in short supply.

This is the story of a Cleveland-area small business. The names of the business, its owner, and the employees have all been changed to respect their privacy.
