Actually, health care reform is one of the things that could most help Jo Average-American weather the recession -- one of the most worrisome aspects of job loss is health insurance loss, particularly if you have preexisting conditions.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Yeah, that's true. Plus a lot of people are afraid of going into business for themselves for the same reason.
man, my doctor best friend has been out of the country since 2 days before the election. To come back and hear that universal health care may be a reality in the not too distant future will blow her mind in a very good way.
She's been in Morocco where, she says, everyone is mad for Obama. She was in a cab the day after the election with a driver who spoke no English (and she speaks very little French or Arabic) and he kept turning around, giving her the two thumbs up, while shouting "OBAMA! OBAMA!"
I had a dream about Obama and Emanuel in which Obama was holding Emanuel by the scruff of his neck and Emanuel was flipping out like a terrier who wants to eat the mailman.
I can see the LOLObama in my head.
I think about eight people in the world would get that joke and they're all right here. Well, and Ryland.
Snerk.

Ayup.

I'm fairly sure this might actually happen at some point. Emanuel looks like he wants to eat his enemies on a daily basis. Preferably with some Chianti and fava beans.

I suspect this may be an accurate description of their day-to-day interactions.

I'm trying to picture the Emmanuel family Passover Seder and giggling madly.
Huh, I just heard speculation about Dick Lugar as Secretary of State.
Some of the LOLObamas are stretching, but some aren't bad:
Now in sexy!

Oh God yes. I always say my childhood would have been a different thing altogether if there had been national healthcare. I was raised by a chronically ill single parent. She would either be in the hospital or working her ass off at multiple jobs to catch up from when she'd been in the hospital. Without overwhelming medical bills? I can't even imagine. Actually, I can imagine -- we'd have been middle class instead of poor, no two ways about it.

Never thought about it, but OMG that sounds like a porn name. For XXX Nazis.
