Why not more health care debate?

President Obama says we cannot have another yearlong debate on health care but must move forward now. For a matter that effects peoples' lives, one sixth of the economy and is (as currently envisioned) fiendishly complex, should we not have a full and complete public debate?

What we have had so far has been a lot of political theatre that has generated more heat than light. We need more data, more information on what these plans will achieve not just political sound bites. This is a massive issue, we should take time to do it right.
