Yeah, I laid low yesterday. Mostly, because I'm not sure where I stand on this. I do think healthcare is something every American needs like defense and education, and being healthy should be a fundamental right.
I also totally understand the Republican arguments about the monopsony that would ensue. That, and America is already spinning the drain financially and this will probably be the nail in the coffin.
I think all of this hostility out there belies this greater fear that our way of life and our very civilization is on borrowed time. And both "sides", with their failure to rein in all of the reckless spending over the last 7 decades, are to blame.
