Republicans had a flowchart—an inscrutable, unwieldy, color-coded expanse of cardboard—that they toted around to town hall meetings to reveal the supposedly terrible, no good health care plan hatched by Democrats. You can see it by clicking here. And a photo of someone carrying the chart (next to a "kill the bill not grandma" sign) is over here.

Not to be outdone in the department of difficult visual communications, liberals have created their own (equally inscrutable) though more graphically appealing flow chart on Who Is Paying to Kill Health Care Reform, which stems from America's Health Insurance Plans (AHIP), the health insurance lobby. Click on the image to enlarge it.

Stay tuned for a flow chart of who is making flow charts. In the meantime, the best flow chart ever made is right here.
