This American Life Explains Part Of The Health Care Crisis »
Reform to Ruin Our Eyes and Make Us Crazy
The medical specialists most likely to benefit from the health care debate are optometrists as the Senate Finance Committee releases its 1502-page text and mental health professionals as a new poll shows a national mood swing from August rage against a public option to 57 percent of Americans in favor of it.
Max Baucus’ masterwork can now be read as a sequel to the 839-page tome by the Health Education Labor and Pensions Committee, with which it will be merged into a doorstop of legislation to reconcile with the distillation of three House versions that Pelosi Publishers are touting as a discounted alternative.
Beyond the eye strain on Congress and its followers, the emotional toll is rising as the Wall Street Journal concedes that “a government-run health-insurance plan, once on life support in the Senate, is making a recovery among Democrats writing health-care legislation.”
Now the best-selling author in the White House is charged with somehow melding these messy narratives into a coherent story of future American health care.

I told you that the public option isn't dead yet. It's not dead until it's (lib-Dem-level spelling) D-E-D, dead.
There's even the start of a recovery of posture support prior to House-Senate negotiations, with at least one Senator (Burris, D-Chicago, no surprise) taking the lib Dem farther-left line in the Senate while at least one person in the House is rumbling about offering a Medicare buy-in, as an amendment to a bill in the House (if anything, makes the public option look less radical by superficial comparison).

??? !!! Is that how a President should be evaluated, on celebrity appeal? What about a teevee show? (How about CNN, with teevee shows titled the same as books by the celebs on those shows?)
