>President Obama said it's been 25 years coming. Try 60 years. Almost every president since Truman has tried to do this and every one of them failed. Like him or dislike him, no one can say any longer that Obama can't get things done. There was a hard core opposition allied against him, huge lobbying money tried to thwart it yet again, there were divisions in his own party, and the American public remains skeptical. He got it done anyway. IMO, and I say this in the same way I would speak of Ronald Reagan, he gets things done. He is a game changer.

Now the only question is whether this will be another way to pump even more money into the insatiable pharma+insurance+others of the health industry, or will it really begin to build a health care system.

>Merry Christmas, everyone.

Make that "everyone interested" or summat. Like I said elsewhere, I prefer to be excused from that. I'm the completely wrong person to receive or give such wishes.
