NASHVILLE, Tenn. — When you stick Sen. Fred Thompson and former White House Press Secretary Dee Dee Myers in a room for a chat, you might not think they would have much to agree on. But in the case of defining the state of America's health care system, they both agree: it's a mess.
"We speculate on global warming, on how much is mandated, but this is much more than an imminent threat, this is a freight train coming down to get us," Thompson said during the health care reform debate April 7, the keynote address during day two of Benefits Selling Expo.
The former Tennessee Senator addressed the urgency of change for health care. But both he and Myers admitted during the debate they weren't sure how much, and when, it would change.
