Back in Oct-Nov '08, I was saying that if McCain won, I was leaving the country. Now, after all the divisive bullshit that is american politics, even after a 'win' on health care, I'm considering that again.

Most of the ideas in this bill were originally proposed by republicans! And now, they consider the same ideas socialist. The blatant lies that were told and repeated and not denied are what passes for civil discourse in this country.

Glen Beck thinks progressives are destroying the country and wants to go back to the US before Teddy Roosevelt. That is not the country I want to live in.

Yeah, this law is better than nothing. I doubt it will be a handout to Ins co's and hospitals--always depending on how lawyers can twist the text of the law.

Yeah, I would have prefered outright socialized medicine but that wasn't goin to happen. A public option would have been nice--old people seem to like their medicare.

But if I can get health and prescription coverage at a reasonable price, I won't mind at all.
