Long read on Health Care Reform...
 
and darned well worth reading:

http://www.rollingstone.com/politics...ck_and_wrong/1

An excerpt of the opinion piece titled "How Washington is screwing up health
care reform - and why it may take a revolt to fix it":

"....All that's left of health care reform is a collection of piece-of-****,
weakling proposals that are preposterously expensive and contain almost
nothing meaningful - and that set of proposals, meanwhile, is being
negotiated down even further by the endlessly negating Group of Six. It is a
fight to the finish now between Really Bad and Even Worse. And it's
virtually guaranteed to sour the public on reform efforts for years to
come."

Did you read the article, Lu-ser? The reason the reform bills don't go
as far as they should is because of conservatives like you who worked
the bills over.

Obviously, the only way we are going to get the sort of health care
reform we need is to just ignore the conservatives and tell them to
pound sand.

Obviously, you didn't read it. It's seven pages long, and with your reading
ability, you would still be on page 2 by now. Don't bother to reply. You're
back in my kill file. WAFA.

It's always a chuckle when morons like Lu comment on the intellectual
abilities of those of us whose synapses actually fire.

Here's another longish read, not on health care reform, but on health
care. I can't really swear to it's accuracy, but it is thought provoking.

That tends to be what happens here when one party has a majority.

You good people should take the time to read the piece. It documents well
how the Dims and Republicans have screwed things up. If it didn't matter who
gets the credit, how much progress could be made???

Obviously the jack ass hasn't lived outside of the US and had to use another
system.
