Seems I have heard that before.
Well, is it, or ain't it in the toilet?

But then again, our elected officials are doing it...maybe half assed is the best we can expect.

Bravo, Charles. Very well put.

Exactly. I think we'll all agree that there's a LOT of stuff about our current healthcare system that needs to be addressed-but scrapping the whole thing over a bill that few have read, almost nobody understands, just because there's this sense of "We Gotta DO Something" among the leadership of the Democratic party-THAT isn't the way to go about it, especially for something that's THIS important. I DON'T trust His Royal Obamaness to have my best interests at heart-Especially when he won't tell us anything but vague, & often contradictory soundbites. But I would be as skeptical if it were the other way around, & the Republicans were running the show.

The fun part of it all is the Senate version is being drawn up by six Senators who represent something less than 3% of the population.

Yes that has always galled me. Why do the "country folk" receive more representation than the city peoples?
I think this has contributed to this great divide that they are now causing.
