I wish this could serve as a wake up call that unaccountable corporate interests have more power than the government, but I don't think it's going to undo 40 years of propaganda to the contrary.<br /><br />I really think health insurance reform isn't going to be tackled until a significant percentage of middle class workers lose the employer subsidized portion of their coverage and have to pay the whole thing out of pocket.toujoursdanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08106158181662408311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2343439372519556254.post-51884623341223594962009-12-14T22:23:25.236-05:002009-12-14T22:23:25.236-05:00I have voted in every election for which I've ...I have voted in every election for which I've been eligible to vote, since I was 18.<br /><br />I wonder now why I've bothered, and whether I will bother in the future. <br /><br />Huge majorities in both Houses.
