malcolm gladwell hosts the podcast, revisionist history.s week, i had a chance to walk with him and we discussed the lack of creative thinking in american politics. something that's become an obstacle to solving problems like fixing our health care system. >> so, canada's had single payer for how many decades now? 50, 60 years. the reason canada has single payer is that canadians had a con ver amongst themselves many, many years ago and asked a simple question, which is what coo do we want from our health care. and they came to the answer that what we want is a system that covers everyone and what that means is we're willing to give up choice, we're willing to give up the most high-tech solutions to various medical problems. we're not going to have expensive, shiny hospitals. you know, the basically, sat down and figured out what their priority were. what strikes me about american discussions and i think this may be one of the root causes of this stalemate in washington right now, no one's ever had that conversation. i can't figure out what

i will take them up -- a point from malcolm gladwell who did research on the italian renaissance. when he talked about all of the people we know from the italian renaissance that made it great, he said what made them great was not the fact that they were geniuses, they were not geniuses by themselves, but they became geniuses because they can together. at this moment we will do the genius thing by working together across left and right so at the end of the day it is not about left and right, it is doing the right things for kids to make sure they are not left behind economically. from a test for me, my take away would be let's take the chaos and become creative.
