millions of folks who are self employed or part time employed, or unemployed, or retired before 65. I’ll be SO disappointed if Obama’s healthcare reform doesn’t include a public option, for that tiny step toward universal coverage is the least we can do.

I’m so troubled by the demagoguery used by opponents of healthcare reform. There seems to now be no limits on duplicity in what ought be reasoned debate as the far right wing has, it seems, decided that if they can’t object reasonably, they will simply shout down their opponents. I thought we’d heard the last of Harry and Louise, and here we have even worse.
