By springtime or sooner the worm will turn and the avalanche of success stories will be like ashes in Johnny Boehner's throat. Meanwhile the sweet tea high will wear off and the idjit gopers will be shrieking about some other made up calamity.

Oh yeh...Whoopie the Ice Queen is a real clairvoyant. It's still a for-profit insurance industry operation. Same old, same old death panels we've had for 4 decades that neither Whoopie or the rest of you ever complained about.

If you're talking about PPACA, you are correct...to a point.

It's still the same old private insurance industry, only they've now bought off the government to be their enforcer. Before, the government was only their enabler.

A friend of my told me years ago that the best way to handle health insurance was to get the government into it completely, or get them completely out.

What we have now, not to mention for a long period of time, is a combination of the two. I really don't know how you could set up a worse system.

1. By not having one.
2. By having one tied directly to uber unfettered capitalism.
