Ed Driscoll: "like a piñata stuffed to the brim with fail".
Most developed nations have a public health-care system and a private health-care system — of variable quality, to be sure, but all of them far simpler to navigate than America's endlessly mutating fusion of the worst of both worlds.

These people just have no idea at all - that running a business is a constant struggle against failure.

ReplyDeleteI hope the Republicans don't blow this opportunity. A faint hope, I know, but still.
