Wow Blankley. RAM was a “publicity stunt”? Even the most cynical health
insurance-cheerleaders from team Red wouldn’t go that far.

“Hey, Martha, you know I feel pretty good, but let me go down to RAM and wait in
a 12 hr line to get a root canal. We need to show Big Politics where we stand on
health care reform.”

Out of touch. Delusional. Intellectual fantasist. Get a real job.

We are still hiring mercenaries. We have over 150,000 in Iraq yet and some 70,000 in Afghanistan. Why are we still paying 6 figure salaries to each and why are we hiding it in the news.
