Peggy Noonan on the Cure Strategy


Peggy Noonan, writing in The Wall Street Journal

There are also the words this year that were most conspicuous by their absence. They're the words we don't use when we talk about health care. Actually we don't talk much about health care, we talk about health insurance. Fox News's Jim Pinkerton says the absent words in the ongoing debate are "medicine," "research" and "cure." Do you want to make a dent in future health-care costs? Cure Alzheimers. That's where the cost will be as the health of the baby boomers falters. Insurance isn't the key. It was never the key. It's a product. Cure and care are the words of the future.
