- Give credit to Howard Dean. This still practicing physician,
former governor of Vermont, former chair of the Democratic Party and former
Democratic presidential candidate has called for progressive members of
Congress in both houses to join their Republican colleagues in killing
what he rightly says has become "an insurance company's dream."

- Those namby-pamby, self-described "progressives"
in the Democratic Party who claim that the health bill can still be saved
with the inclusion of a fake, carefully circumscribed and thoroughly emasculated
"public option" government insurance plan that at best would
only be able to offer lousy coverage at high rates to a small number of
self-employed poor people are wrong. This supposed attempt at reforming
the US health care system--the costliest and least effective in the developed
world--is simply past saving.

- The only appropriate place for the bill at this point
is a dumpster...
