I've been enjoying the BBC show "Call the Midwife". Today it hit me how strange the premise of universal health care is. A show about medical care in a low income neighborhood would be plagued with people worrying about how they can afford their care.
I like that the show goes through many different social, medical and political troubles in each episode. It's like historical fiction, educating and entertaining.
A podcast I listened to said that people see what they want to. Liberals watching the Stephen Colbert show saw conservative talk radio/TV being mocked. Conservatives watching the show saw liberal guests being mocked.
We see what we want to see. But can we choose what we want to see?
