Trying to Unmisunderstand the Health Care Debate?
I don't know if you've noticed, but lately a whole lot of people seem to have a whole lot of opinions about a whole lot of possible aspects of possible health care reform.
Oh, you have noticed? Well, have you further noticed that just about every one of those people has absolutely no fucking idea about what the fuck they're talking about?
You have? Oh, good. Because I thought that I was going crazy.
The president tried to clear things up in that speech he gave a few weeks ago, but then Joe Wilson yelled something and everyone was so busy having conniptions for the next two weeks that they forgot to pay attention anything the president said. It happens.
So, now he's putting out this video. It's essentially a four-minute, PowerPoint presentation version of the speech (which is awesome because, obviously, everybody loves PowerPoint presentations)….
I made it about a minute and fourteen seconds into it before I started fading. How about you?
Oh, by the way, before you totally give up you might want to check out these explanatory podcasts from the people at How Stuff Works. I found them to be a bit less dry…

And, once you're bored with trying to pretend like you really care about health care reform, you can go back to researching zombies.




How about preventative care like birth control?
