Aaron CarrollI just can’t believe we’re still doing this:
Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant (R) doesn’t like President Barack Obama’s health care reform law. It’s too expensive and too intrusive, he says.
And Bryant has another reason to oppose the law, he revealed in an interview with Kaiser Health News: It’s not necessary because everyone’s doing just finenow.
There is no one who doesn’t have health care in America. No one. Now, they may end up going to the emergency room. There are better ways to deal with people that need health care than this massive new program.
Can we stop this? Please? It’s a zombie idea.

It’s really nothing new…
‘When I use a word,’ Humpty Dumpty said, in rather a scornful tone, ‘it means just what I choose it to mean — neither more nor less.’
‘The question is,’ said Alice, ‘whether you can make words mean so many different things.’
‘The question is,’ said Humpty Dumpty, ‘which is to be master — that’s all.’

Of course, we have universal coverage. I mean really, we’re a generous nation. We don’t let people bleed to death in the street, in spite of being losers who didn’t bother to buy insurance, like they should!
