So did the health care bill pass in the US, or what is the story there?
I don't know how good this new system is, but for a country as rich and as resourceful as the US, its about time you had a real health care system.
It ain't so much the health system as much as rethinking the Byzantine health insurance system. It passed because:
a) George W Bush fucked up so badly that it granted reactionary votes of historic proportions, and
b) things have gotten so bad with how health insurance has become an inefficient, bloated, expensive sink hole that even government haters have recognized that the government would have a difficult time doing much worse with it
At the end I heard Al Gore does a take-off on Justin Timberlake's "Dick in a box" SNL skit and places his own unit in a Lock Box.
You sure that wasn't John Edwards?
