"enjoyment obtained from the troubles of others."

Classic. Obama and John Edwards' speechwriter can't afford health insurance in Massachussetts, a state with universal health care.

Surprise!

As Ed notes, the Ms. Button doesn't quite get why her health insurance premiums are so high in KennedyLand as opposed to D.C. 

But at least she recognizes that there's a problem. It's our job to do everything we can to prevent this from happening so millions of other people don't wake up and realize they just ate a legendary crap sandwich.

Costs are not going away. One way or the other they are going to go up. Whether they are absorbed by the provider and transferred to you through higher premiums, or whether they come in the form of higher taxes to pay for a public option. Either way, you will pay more. It's that simple.

Of course, once a program is more or less paid for, there's only one real way Government will hold down cost: Rationing.

These aren't naked presumptions dear readers, they are inevitable economic facts. 

ObamaCare will fail in every possible respect and 80% of this Country will pay for it in either higher premiums or taxes.
