The speech went pretty well, I think. You know, except for GOP Rep. Joe Wilson of SC being an asshole.
The gist of the speech was in fact the specifics, and I think it was heartening to hear that a public plan, 10 to 20 percent cheaper due to lower overhead, is exactly what the country needs right now. And who will pay for the public plan? Gosh, the premiums will pay for it.
So why are we not doing this plan? Oh yes...Rep. Wilson showed class and decorum and displayed every reason why you don't have access to this plan yet.
[UPDATE 10:44 PM] Joe Wilson has apologized for his outburst. Welcome to the Town Hall Blitz of America.
if i had been in charge during the War Between The States, i would have sent Sherman to completely level south carolina. those mush mouths started the secession crap and i would have made them pay the ultimate price - forever.
