It's late at night. A man is on all fours underneath a street lamp, searching for something. A policeman happens on the scene and asks the clearly drunken man what he is doing. "Looking for my keys," answers the man. The policeman scans the area, seeing nothing and asks "did you drop them here?" "No," the reply comes back, "I dropped them in the alley."The cop is both bemused and baffled. The drunk only registers the baffled part, and explains, "but the light is much better here."
An apt tale to reflect upon for those who are stumbling drunken down the alley of health care reform and thinking that the keys to making improvement will be right where the light is shining.
