People who say they're moving to Canada because of Obamacare. You already knew they have fully government-controlled health care and gay marriage, right? Of course you did. I am so highly amused today. Thanks Obama!    2012.06.28
The Supreme Court upholds Obama's healthcare act. "This is an imperfect law. But what's most important is that it provides a structure under which the country can make a start not only on universal coverage -- as an ethical imperative -- but on doing away with the waste and inefficiencies created by the chronic market failure of the US health insurance system. Again, that matters. And I suspect that there's no going back."    2012.06.28
