Healthy.

This is not my last rant on the subject, but ... thanks Barack and Nancy -- this is only the beginning.

Abortion was already not federally funded. After months of bickering, it still isn't, but now we finally have some more healthcare. Much of the GOP's fundamental opposition to the healthcare reform is based on a libertarian ideal of the complete freedom to choose any damn thing. So where does that lie with the their simultaneous blanket support of women NOT being able to choose?

I don't care where people draw the line with a gooey blob of cells. Abortion is a toxic and unresolvable issue that will continue to camp out in a political no man's land. George Bush didn't take it away, and Obama didn't make it accessible. It is what it is, and forever will be, broken political promises amen. Anyone that thinks otherwise can continue to keep the posterboard, sharpies and yardstick business booming. What I do care about is the logical fallacy of digging up "freedom" as an argument against healthcare -- it's galvanized nearly half the country to kick and scream against having health insurance without realizing that they are that drunk wearing a lampshade.

Whatever the right says, insulin is a lot cheaper than a below-the-knee amputation complicated by pulmonary embolus, and taking your daily lisinopril and lipitor is a lot more pleasant than a stat trip to the cath lab that may be your last trip anywhere.

With healthcare reform these fucking idiots are in danger of living longer and better, and I hope that some day they'll take a minute and realize that what happened today was actually a good first step.
