A story that will forever shatter the world of health care. It will forever change the lives of millions. The United States, in my opinion, will never recover from this crippling blow. I'm speaking of course, of the insider trading going on in the health care industry. Never again can we tru-
What? You're saying that their is some other health care story that's more pressing than white-collar crime? I honestly can't imagine what could possibly- well let's just see. Ah, the health care bill. I suppose that's a bit weighty. Thanks for the article, strange cloaked man in my room. You can put the knife away now.
So I've consulted the magical S-words Opinion Generating Machine™ and apparently this is bad. I can never understand this thing nowadays. Something about costing companies money in tax breaks? Could be broken I suppose. It doesn't seem to be factoring in the opinions of the 46.3 million uninsured Americans.
Also, the heated debate has turned to violence. Senators have been threatened. Windows have been broken. Expletives have been used. While it seems no one has been hurt,* the situation is escalating. It's good to know that both parties are making it absolutely clear that this whole situation is not good. You can't try to strong-arm the political system and expect anything less than a stern scolding from those affected.
Obama has dared republicans to oppose the bill in their respective platforms. Reports on whether this was accompanied by him sticking out his chest and repeating "what you gonna do, huh?" are unconfirmed, so I'm forced to come to the conclusion that he did.
On a lighter note, do you know how difficult it was to find a health care story that was not about the reform bill? I'll give you a hint, it was very difficult.
*physically, that is. Bad words can be corrosive to self-esteem.
Rose's note: By the way, did you know Parkland Hospital in Dallas (where they took Kennedy after he was shot) is a charity hospital, and therefore provides free care? The hospital was good enough for a President, yet there's no quality free health care? Hm....
