Yes. But when the government says you have to pay overpriced premiums to a
bloated for-profit corporate oligopoly for questionable care it sounds like
a relatively healthy reaction. Still you're right. I guess it's more
evidence (for me anyway) that the media doesn't know the difference between
right and left, just the politics of the horse race--speaks to Peter
Frase's nice distinction between the political and the partisan.
