Really, the endless pandering to insurance companies can end any time now. I'm with the people who were cheering for Canada in the opening remarks.

What that says to me is how fucking big of a lobby the insurance companies are. Bastards. t edit Which is to say, they have so much influence that they get pandered to so that Pelosi doesn't wake up with a horse's head in her bed.
