from David Frum, former Bush speech writer:
"It’s hard to exaggerate the magnitude of the (health care bill) disaster. Conservatives may cheer themselves that they’ll compensate for today’s expected vote with a big win in the November 2010 elections. [...]
No illusions please: This bill will not be repealed. Even if Republicans scored a 1994 style landslide in November, how many votes could we muster to re-open the “doughnut hole” and charge seniors more for prescription drugs? How many votes to re-allow insurers to rescind policies when they discover a pre-existing condition? How many votes to banish 25 year olds from their parents’ insurance coverage? And even if the votes were there – would President Obama sign such a repeal?"
...God, man. LISTEN to yourself!

I can not understand the discussion in America - health care for everybody is a matter of immense importance for a society...I believe it is constitutional law:
"We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility,..... promote the general Welfare , and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.”
if this is too political for a blog - delete this...
It's all baffling.
And immensely embarrassing. That all our ceaseless, partisan vitriol passes for debate in this country adds insult to the injury of not having already understood the right, in my opinion, to health care.
Bleh.
I can hardly take another word of it. It really is corrosive.
...how's my EU passport coming along.....? Time for me to get back on that job perhaps. I sure wish I could have dual citizenship.
