10. This is totally a Republican Lite bill

Back in the 1980s, the Republicans were already saying, "The solution for lack of medical care for the working poor is to require all of them to buy health insurance."

At that time, I remarked, "Yeah, and the solution to homelessness is to require everyone to buy a house."

The two ideas seemed equally absurd at the time, but now the idea of forcing people to buy private health insurance is mainstream Democratic.

:grr:
