We've been briefly touching on politics surrounding healthcare in this forum, and I'm wondering if anyone's interested in creating this category in the forum, "Politics surrounding healthcare". It is an important issue, but one concern I have is that it is difficult to have nice clam ordered discussions on politics, and I prefer not to call it "Politics". What's everyone's take on this?
