Doomdark's Journal: Hell yes! Take that, you fear-mongering tea-baggers

FINALLY something good out of US of A -- after almost a century of farting around, country starts getting on track with handling health-care. With small, staggering drunkard steps, perhaps so, but towards right direction. It is amazing what over-paying by 100 - 200%, and getting warm-fuzzy feeling (high customer satisfaction) coupled with provably poor results (mediocre life expectancy, high infant mortality) can do. Or, perhaps just the first competent president in couple of decades.

Either way, this once again proves Winston Churchill's hauntingly insightful quip of americans always doing the right thing after exhausting other options. I take that as a realistically-optimistic view (there are countries that don't do it even then), and advice to always apply plenty of patience when considering US politics, direction.
