I have an opinion on health insurance reform in America now!
Okay, okay I am not going to lie to you, I had an opinion on health insurance reform before. It was just the wrong one. I recognized it right away as the wrong one because, well, I looked around and there were some crasszy (crazy-ass! Ha! That was a typo, but I’ve decided to roll with it.) dudes standing next to me (some of them with guns, all of them with bright red faces and a vein throbbing in their neck) and on the other side, waaayyy over there, were Rachel Maddow and Keith Olbermann and OMG THE PRESIDENT! I LOVE YOU MR. PRESIDENT!!
Must. Get. To. The. Other. Side.
The last time I really even thought about the idea was during the Hillary Clinton universal healthcare debacle. (How much credit does she get for not calling a press conference for the express purpose of saying “Told you healthcare reform was hard! Suckers. Peace out.” And then ripping off her mic and throwing it to the floor? Actually, I’d kinda pay to see that.) Anyway, I spent months and months listening and reading.
Well, trying to listen and read.
I am easily distrac…ooh, a penny! It’s SHINY!
Sorry.

I should explain where I started.
