    The irony is that the least educated and resource-strained people are both the ones who'll benefit from health care reform AND the ones most crazily, vocally against it.
    I hope the Jindels of the nation opt their states out of this - hopefully, over the long run, it'll result in fewer House members being allocated for their pitiful, Federal money-sucking Red states. #healthcare

    @Trai_Dep: It's a bit of an over-generalization but: many of the least educated and resource-strained people in this country turned to the Republicans to begin with because the Democrat Party ceased to support them. Jobs left, schools consolidated, doctors became too expensive. My hope is that legislation like this will help win some voters back on issues that matter. #healthcare

    @contains_hot_liquid: Good points, but I try to keep away from parties, since ideologies are a more accurate indicator. There are plenty of Dems in the pocket (or terrified) of the Conservative one. #healthcare

    "[A] 2,000 page bill, the contents of which most Americans seem to think include a provision that says something along the lines of 'YOU, SIR, OR MA'AM, ARE GOING TO DIE. WE ARE GOING TO KILL YOU, AND YOU ARE GOING TO ENJOY IT! AND ALSO PAY US TAXES TOO, THANKS!'"

    "Most" is pretty fucking misleading. Opposition to the bill has been between 50 and 56% for months. That's a bare majority, especially when you account for error in the poll and people believing all the lies about reform that are out there.

    After giving Congressional Testimony, Baby Matty was introduced to former Vice President Dick Cheney, who suggested that a light bernaise sauce might help to bring out her natural sweetness.

    On the plus side, she is no longer worried about paying for her parents' and grandparents' health care. #healthcare

    Arizona Republicans--from McCain and Kyl to every last sorry fuck in their house delegation--are painfully obvious about what they want, which is for insurance companies to be able to operate out of any state so that they'll all come to Arizona, which will be the state with no regulation. Insurers will be able to cancel you at the first sign of an illness and jack your premiums when the actuarial tables say you're about to get sick, and lots and lots of fun tricks besides.

    They hope to do for Arizona what Tom Daschle did for South Dakota and credit cards and Joe Biden did for Delaware and the banking industry when they helped gut the usury laws in those states.

    And that's the second prong of the GOP's plan for reforming health care in this country. The other, tort reform, would save about $10 billion a year. And it would put a price tag on everybody's life. Which is fine until some incompetent asshole who hasn't slept in four days puts a bad drug interaction onto a chart and your kid ends up a vegetable and you find out that you're limited to $100,000 to care for him for the rest of his life.

    All he's doing with his granddaughter is gloating that she's not one of the millions of Americans who are without health insurance, or whose insurance is shitty and designed to deny care. If she were poor and uninsured and got diagnosed with cancer, I have to wonder what she'd say. I'm sure it wouldn't be the Cult for Growth pabulum he's pretending to make her spout. What an asshole.

    The sad thing is, this kid is going to grow up to be just another ignorant entitled sorostitute at Arizona State.

    Ironically- one of the attendants at Bachmann's rally had a heart attack and was saved by government-run health care.

    I'd like to take this moment to point out, that, as a white male with an upper-middle-class salary and no dependents or tax writeoffs, I would welcome the opportunity to see a rather moderate to large hike in my taxes if it would go toward people like my 6-year old goddaughter having health coverage. Luckily, as a heavy smoker, I'm already covering part of it (I say this unironically).

    I think what needs to happen is that more people who are in the same income situation as me need to come out and state their preferences. Sure, I'd love to keep that money, but I'd love more for anyone to be able to see a doctor whenever they need to. #healthcare

    Prof. Bacon: We give a direct and clear message that there's something wrong with being fat.

    That's because there is something wrong with being fat. Stop it with the denial already.

    @Claire Buoyant: I am totally confused how it's become verboten to say so. The rates of heart disease, strokes, even some cancers -- not to mention diabetes -- are all directly related to obesity. But we wouldn't want to hurt the feelings of the people who go to the Cheesecake Factory and eat enough for eight people in one portion. #healthcare

    Rep. Shadegg: She wants America's health insurance companies to have to compete with each other. She believes in choice.

    He needs to learn the difference between health care and health insurance. Our current (competitive in his view, one supposes) insurance landscape leaves a lot of people without health care.

    One of these days, Foster, you will have to give a definitive post on why you hate fat people so much. Or is it just the Fat Acceptance movement? Inquiring minds want to know. #healthcare

    @ostartero: "Thin Is In" is a concept that is fairly recent in history (1960's Twiggy). Previously, as The Clap mentioned, "Junk In Your Trunk" was looked on as true beauty. #healthcare
