"Health Care Freedom Act."

What is it with Republicans and their penchant for labeling bills with names that have nothing to do with the intent of the bill? Witness the "Health Care Freedom Act." WHAT?? The freedom to suffer and die without having to endure the unbearable burden of access to a doctor?

This is asinine. This is absurd. This is demented.

Gaaahhhhhh.

Whatever they call it I doubt it covers any possible treatments for sheer stupidity.
