"Oh great.
Now we add health care to the topics that get debated on internet message boards, uselessly."

For some people, the discussions are not useless. Lots of readers here use these boards to learn new things or at least get a better grasp on things.

For others, the discussions are probably useless because just use these boards to express their views and hopefully have them reinforced. They aren't looking to learn. When encountering differing information they just throw their hands up and say the discussions do not matter anyway.
