No joy in healthcare reform land

By Creature

The votes are in, the Senate bill will be passed. I fully support those pushing to make this bill better in conference, but with Nelson and Baucus making threats against changes I don't hold out much hope. A decision has been made to build universality on the backs of private insurance, except they forgot about the regulation part. This is the American way. Profit over good policy. Profit over people. I have no excitement over the passage of this bill, I only hope those like Paul Krugman know what they are talking about when they express their support. He usually does, it's the only comfort left.
