More Healthcare and What Does "Un-American" Mean?

Sarah Day: Health care continues to be debated on multiple fronts without necessarily a lot of light being shed on the issue.

Not only was Mr. Hanks' statement utterly and completely inaccurate, it also gives unique insight into the popular elitist buzzword, un-American.
