Mike Lux: That Gollum-Like Feeling on Health Care

[Cant trust em]

I find myself gripped in a bitter argument -- with myself -- about the fate of health care reform. It's sort of like watching the schizophrenic Gollum in the Lord Of The Rings saga fight angrily with himself over how to deal with Frodo: "the master is so nice to me, he takes care of me and wants to help me" vs. "I will strangle him, I will crush his head against the rocks, I will feed him to the giant spider." In my case, the raging fight with myself goes more like "But there are so many nice things in this bill, I really like a lot of it, and I've wanted this bill for such a long time" vs. "those evil insurers are screwing us again, I want to kill this bill, crush it against the rocks".

3. Boy he nailed my thoughts.

The one thing I have been wondering is if this passes is that the end? I would hope the progressive caucus is already planning changes to be introduced in the next congress.

Frank wrote an un-produced play about a giant spider called Hutchintoot.

I just felt you all needed to know that....
