I'm thinking of running for office and having this be my entire platform.
Add Toto in, and you're a sure-fire winner!
Every planet has its own weird customs. About a year before we met, I spent six weeks on a moon where the principal form of recreation was juggling geese. My hand to God. Baby geese. Goslings. They were juggled.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Bwah!
Toto could be my running mate. "Treats for everyone!" could be his platform.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
The way National Health Care will happen in the US will be the same way it happened in Canada.
Eventually, some state is going to get fed up and implement it on its own. The state will be mocked and openly attacked by every conservative pundit in the country. But when it turns out that it actually works, it will go national.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Huh.
Well, I hope so.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I think a politician could do well with the message that people should be entitled to health care as a citizen instead of as an employee lucky enough to be employed by someone who can and will provide it.
Absolutely. (The "But Sweden does it!" angle won't work, but the "As Americans, you're entitled to lots of free shit" angle seems a no-brainer.)

I sometimes think the only way it will happen is if businesses insist on it so they can continue to compete with businesses in the rest of the world.
But they'll probably just outsource to said rest of world instead.
Yes, but the average American doesn't give a damn what they do in other countries. Most people just have faith that the American way of doing things is the best.
The average American seems to be easily swayed by the horrific notion of his or her Hard Earned Money going to support Someone Else. The average American is very bad at seeing the big picture.

I took the test and was the Peter Davison doctor. And hey -- they don't have the last two doctors as part of the test.
And no fair having "The Master" as a possible result.
