Now that we are all indentured servants of medical insurance companies, her work is done. She is leaving employment of government officials to “return” to employment by private industry, as if she ever really left.
This whole process has been one of the most contemptible and corrupt I have ever witnessed. Only Democrats could have pulled it off. Since they were seen as the overlords of the process, there were no Democrats available to fight the bill. Democrats are the problem.
Piece of Mindful 
Quid pro quo to Baucus was huge, estimated at over 3 million in campaign contrubutions from health care alone. Add insurance and he is the proud master of the Senate in extortion, bribes and gambling with house money.

it will be disgusting to watch, but Democrats will rally around him next time around, as a lesser evil. Works every time.

(Your writer there refers to Great Britain as “single payer,” which it is not. I think those who write about this subject ought to know something of what they write about, a small requirement.)
Help me out here Swede. I know that very little information about other countries’ health care systems filters through our media, but you get about, so you’re informed, right?
This is what perplexes me: The facts are out there. Other countries offer care to 100% of their citizens at far less cost and are healthier and live longer than us. They don’t wait in line, they don’t go bankrupt, and per capita their soceties are wealthier than ours. They don’t have to worry, like we do, about being wiped out by illness. They have freedom.
These are facts. They cannot be disputed. Why don’t they matter? Why do you on the right dispute this, why do you insist that what is known, and right before our eyes, is not real? Why do you deny reality? What drives you?

Cycle of Nations perhaps. 1000s of years of historical proof where no nation survives in its original form.
And speaking of filters. Was Moore’s depiction of Cuba’s fabulous HC system unfiltered?

“Cycle of Nations” is so vague as to be useless. It allows you to escape honest inquiry by asserting, I suppose, that in the long run you are going to be proven right. That’s Budgeism.
Though only ninety miles away, so little of Cuba is known to Americans as to make any discussion pointless. I assume we are close in age, so that the revolution in 1959 was seen to both of us as a tragedy. We were either told outright or it was subtly engrained in us that Castro was a monster who was willy nilly imprisoning and killing people.
I got over these attitudes – it was a simple matter to read about Cuba in the eyes of Cubans both under American and Cuban rule, and to realize that if we simply left them alone, they’d be a free and prosperous country, not free of defects, but certainly better off than Americans. But they have been subjected to terrorist campaigns (Mongoose), embargo, isolation and continued propaganda and smaller terrorist campaigns over the decades, unrelenting. The US fears, more than anything, a good example.
So I suggest you refrain from discussing Cuba until you do as so many others have done, look at them objectively, and not through the American propaganda lens.

I never look thru America’s lens when it comes to Castroland.

“The Open Veins of Latin America” by Eduardo Galeano helps understand the scope and duration of colonial and imperial brutality that feeds Western lifestyles. Capitalism’s origins: Resource plunder and slaves. We’re now running out of both. Are we watching it’s final act?
